By now, the world has perhaps been informed widely about the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Merrill Lynch issue to which both had filed for Chapter 11 or bankruptcy due to financial problems. While many have been laid off, the impact it has is deemed worst than the September 11 attacks on the United States, making more people wonder what is in store for them as far as stability is concerned.

Ordinarily this may be seen as a temporary setback but for people who need to survive, sleepless nights are pegged ahead. It may not be categorized as a serious sleep disorder for now but if the trend continues, it should not be surprising as to how this will affect people mentally that may go as far as becoming medically related.

One thing that is for sure, you cannot tell people to take it easy. With an economy practically at the cliff, who knows what tomorrow would hold. That is perhaps why many cannot sleep well these days. There is no telling which company may follow the footsteps of Lehman.

Within the past year, 38 percent of Americans said they couldn’t sleep because of financial worries, 34 percent experienced the butterfly feeling in their stomachs for the same reason – while 9 percent have even broke out in cold sweats after toiling over their finances, according to the Birmingham-based bank’s Build-to-Order Free Checking Anniversary Survey.
