For stress management, the specific issue of sleep is best understood in context. Family members and friends can offer practical support without trying to diagnose or treat the person. Listening without judgment, asking what kind of help is wanted, respecting boundaries, and encouraging appropriate professional support can be useful. If there is immediate danger or a serious safety concern, seek emergency or crisis support rather than relying only on informal help. Individual experiences can vary, so personalized guidance may be appropriate.
