Losing Sleep Over the Economy?

Much of the world is giving into the effects of stress and that number is only increasing as the world faces the current financial crisis. I thought this video was very applicable to all of us and reminds us that in order to remain healthy, we must remember to take care of our minds and spirits or we will see the physical consequences (like inability to sleep, etc.)... Not to say that medication isn't necessary in some circumstances. Many of our problems can be alleviated through taking care of our complete selves. A couple of the most interesting things I learned from this video are that 1/3 of Americans are losing sleep over economic worries and that $56 million dollars are currently being spent on sleeping prescriptions.

Going right along with this video, I found an article called "Recession Depression Becomes Real as Many Struggle For Financial Survival." Due to the struggling economy, many people are also struggling to find happiness. If you read it, make sure you don't become one of them : ) We can still find much to be grateful for and happy about during difficult times.
