Stronger Minds by MindBeacon

Sleep troubles heightened during the pandemic

Written by Cristina Huré, Community Manager | March 7, 2022

With no end in sight during the pandemic, sleep troubles become a real stressor for Marie, a PhD student, looking to cope amongst lockdowns and separation from family. 

Fear, anxiety, rumination, uncertainty and loneliness have been the cause of many sleep challenges within the community. We thank Marie for opening up and sharing her story for this episode of our new Shared Experiences podcast. 


If you're experiencing sleep troubles, MindBeacon is here with a variety of supports available in our Virtual Mental Health Therapy Clinic. If you are part of our Workplace Mental Health Program, please visit your company page for access to services covered by your program.

Brought to you by real people with real stories, our Shared Experiences series shines light on the mental health struggles we all commonly face. One in five people experience a mental illness in a given year and by the time someone reaches 40, the prevalence is one in two and many don't reach out for help. At MindBeacon, we strive to change that. Care to share your story and help others remember they're not alone? Reach out to community@mindbeacon.com to play your part in removing the stigma.
