A Third of Brits Lose Sleep Over Financial Worries

According to a recent survey, one-third of people in Britain report that money worries keep them up at night, and about 20% confess to making impulsive purchases when they're tired from lack of sleep.

Nearly half of British people (46%) report experiencing inadequate sleep at least three nights per week, with an average of only 5.7 hours slept each night, according to a survey conducted for Intuit Credit Karma.

Approximately 24% of British people confess to splurging on unnecessary purchases when feeling weary, and about 15% acknowledge being inclined to order food or takeaway meals under similar circumstances.

About 9% admit purchasing unwanted clothing and accessories due to fatigue, 6% confess to buying superfluous tech gadgets 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 deals or discounts following a poor night of sleep.

Although 32% of British people report that money worries keep them up at night, 21% spend their insomnia-ridden hours checking their account balances, 15% use this time to pay bills, and 12% track their expenditures.

According to Credit Karma data, over one million members accessed their accounts during nighttime hours—between midnight and 6 am—over the past six months. Additionally, 9% of these users reviewed their credit scores late at night.

Akansha Nath, who leads international operations at Intuit Credit Karma, stated: "When feeling exhausted, it's common to lose control over spending and find impulsive purchases more alluring. Establishing strict budget constraints, setting up automatic bill payments, and avoiding quick-buy shopping applications can prevent excessive expenditures."

You can impose restrictions on your smartphone to block access to financial applications during nighttime hours, thus avoiding evening monetary stress. Allowing yourself sufficient time for clear thinking can significantly impact your financial well-being.

Opinium surveyed 2,000 residents of the UK from March 18-20.
