The holidays are a time of fun, family, and gatherings. Behind the scenes, this time of year brings anxiety, depression, and unexplained sadness.
The winter blues can easily turn into holiday blues…and silent suffering. If you are like many people, you may find that you have a harder time falling asleep during this time of year.
TIME Magazine reported that heart attacks and deaths increase every year during the holiday season. Why?
TIME magazine answers this by writing, “The holidays are a stressful time for many, since family, social and financial obligations multiply, which can contribute to higher blood pressure and aggravation of heart disease risk factors.”

When you are tired, your body releases stress hormones. But this is a catch 22 situation. Stress activates your fight or flight response, which makes it nearly impossible to sleep. Imagine being in danger and suddenly feeling tired.
The fight-to-flight response makes sure you have enough energy to fight or escape. In turn, this excess, unused energy keeps you up at night.
Your body becomes even more stressed and your anxiety levels rise because you are running on little sleep.
