According to a recent survey, one-third of people in Britain report that money worries keep them up at nights, while one in every five confesses to making impulsive purchases when they're tired from lack of sleep.
Nearly half of British people (46%) report experiencing bad sleep at least three nights each week, managing to get only an average of 5.7 hours per night, according to a survey conducted for Intuit Credit Karma.
About 24% of British people confess to splurging on unnecessary things when they're tired, and 15% acknowledge being prone to purchasing meals or takeaway foods during such times.
About 9% admit purchasing unwarranted clothing and accessories due to fatigue, 6% confess to buying superfluous tech products for the same reason, and another 6% reveal booking vacations as a way to improve their spirits following inadequate rest.
One-third (32%) report feeling less inclined to search for better offers or discounts following a poor night of rest.
Although 32% of British people report that money worries keep them up at night, 21% spend their wakeful hours checking their account balances, 15% use that time to pay bills, and 12% track their expenditures.
The Credit Karma data revealed that during the past six months, one million members accessed their accounts between midnight and 6 am. Additionally, 9% of these users reviewed their credit scores late at night.
Akansha Nath, who leads international operations at Intuit Credit Karma, stated: "When you're feeling exhausted, it's simpler to lose control over your expenses and succumb to impulsive purchases. Establishing strict budget constraints, setting up automatic bill payments, and avoiding quick-buy shopping applications can assist in preventing excessive spending."
You can impose restrictions on your smartphone to block access to financial applications during late hours, thus avoiding nighttime monetary stress. Allowing yourself ample time for clear thinking can significantly impact your financial well-being.
