Worry Dolls

There is a Mayan Story that tells that when a person can not sleep well due to worrying, they can express their worries to a WORRY DOLL and place it under the pillow before going to sleep. The WORRY DOLL is thought to worry in the person’s place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the WORRY DOLLS during the night.
