August 24, 2018: Forty-one percent (41%) of American adults at least occasionally lose sleep over relationships. Thirty-six percent (36%) lose sleep over money and 30% over work. Twenty-eight percent (28%) cite health as a reason for sleepless nights, but only 14% name politics.[1]

“Older millennials (ages 28 to 37) are most likely to say they occasionally lose sleep — 77 percent of them lie awake at night because of something on their minds.”[1]

For younger baby boomers, money is the top reason for losing sleep. For the Silent Generation, it’s health. For everybody else, it’s relationships.
