&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1222&quot; title=&quot;sleep&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; alt=&quot;sleep&quot; src=&quot;http://www.recessionwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dreamstime_6886250-150x150.jpg&quot; width=&quot;150&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;One thing you can be sure of when you&amp;#8217;re tossing and turning at 4 a.m. is that you&amp;#8217;re not alone: The recession is keeping everyone up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#224970&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;study by Compass Bank&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; found that 38 percent of respondents were having trouble sleeping due to financial worries. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#224970&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;ComPsych commiserated&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, adding that cost of living and credit card debt were the biggest concerns. The &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#224970&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Journal of Sleep conducted a study&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; of women under financial strain and found they weren&amp;#8217;t sleeping. Others are starting to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#224970&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;pick up&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; on the story of the Unsleeping.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So what should you do about it? You could ask Facebook. A recent status update from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#224970&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Federated Media&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; CEO John Battelle asked, &amp;#8220;So who out there has trouble sleeping? I often cannot turn off the brain&amp;#8221; and was flooded with responses within minutes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Whatever&amp;#8217;s keeping you up, consider trying these strategies to help you get a good night&amp;#8217;s sleep in a pinch (without resorting to sleep clinics or expensive prescription drugs). Got others? Leave a comment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Sudoku till it hurts. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Booze. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Warm bath. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Red wine and a boring book. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Hot milk with sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Snuggling up with the Sleep Sheep, a soft, stuffed animal with a white-noise maker inside of it (though you might want to hide this during the day). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Sleep masks. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Tensing and releasing every muscle, starting with your feet and working your way up. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Turning off the computer at 5 p.m. (Sounds crazy? So is staying up all night.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Keeping the lights on &amp;#8212; &amp;#8220;the darkness seems to encourage me to keep thinking.&amp;#8221; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;I give myself a good facial massage and then foot massage and then scan the body from bottom to top to see what is uncomfortable. Then I just follow my breath and breathe into the spaces that are uncomfortable. Really, after two minutes of paying close attention to my breath, my mind is clear and I am out like a light.&amp;#8221; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Listening to a music CD for sleep such as Dr. Jeffrey Thompson&amp;#8217;s Alpha Relaxation System. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Turning off overhead lights and gradually turning down other light sources an hour to two hours before sleep. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Spraying sheets and pillows with lavender water, which promotes relaxation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Drinking chamomile tea. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Doing a nighttime yoga routine for relaxation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;If none of that works, well, your resume could probably use some updating.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Laura Rich, RecessionWire.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recession Recipes: Satisfaction Stew &lt;br&gt;Love in the Time of Layoff: Helicopter Spouse &lt;br&gt;Recession Briefing 2.19&lt;/p&gt;
