Burgard explains that back in the days, work was a lot more physically draining and tended to leave people so exhausted at night that they wouldn't have any trouble sleeping. But she says that work today is actually more emotionally and psychologically stressful which affects the way people are able to rest and sleep at night.

What she found to be the most stressful to people was personal conflicts with other co-workers, and what she calls "work-family conflicts", in other words how your work is affecting your family life.

She says that sleeping pills won't solve the problem, and I must say I have to agree with her. The solution resides into dealing with those conflicts, and eliminating them or at least reducing them to a minimum and being able to live a balanced life.

One must also find ways to deal with work stress, by doing things such as regular exercise, meditation or breathing and relaxation exercises.
