Have you ever felt nervous? Maybe you . . .
• overslept one morning and had to rush through breakfast.
You might have felt nervous that you’d miss your bus and
get in trouble.
• had trouble sleeping because you kept thinking about
your team’s important game the next day. You might have
worried about playing well.
• had to speak in front of your whole class. The thought
of everyone looking at you might have made you very
nervous.
• overheard your parents arguing. The sound of their angry
voices might have made you worried, even if they weren’t
yelling right at you.
It’s common to have
trouble sleeping
if you are feeling
anxious about
something.
