Debt worries “causing two in three to lose sleep”

Around two in three men (61 per cent) are not sleeping well due to stress over debts, according to a recent poll into personal money issues.

However, while that figure may seem remarkably high, it”s even worse for women as 75 per cent of female respondents to the talkaboutdebt.co.uk survey remarked that they were also having problems when getting to bed on an evening.

As a result, 27 per cent of respondents admitted to debt seriously affecting their quality of work, with one in five admitting to the stress being so extreme that they are unable to return to the office.

Jessica Bown, an independent financial journalist working for the free debt help website, said: “It is clear that debt stress can have terrible consequences and we want to make sure that people get the right kind of help and don”t have to suffer alone.”
