Hundreds of kids say they're losing out on sleep because they're worrying about things like exams, bullying or family problems, according to a survey.
More than half said they felt stressed at least once a week. Many said they struggle to get to sleep, miss meals or stop seeing friends because of how they feel.
Children were most likely to worry about tests and exams (57%), followed by family problems - like their parents splitting up - (31%) and being bullied at school or a club (30%).
Tips to help you if you feel stressed
- Do some type of exercise such as walking, playing sport or dancing.
- Do something relaxing - like having a warm bath or watching your favourite film.
- Take a break from school work to do something you enjoy like listening to music or reading a good book.
- Breathing exercises - take long slow depth breaths in through your nose and out from your mouth. Lying down with your eyes shut can make these exercises more relaxing.
