Life is full of opportunities and challenges, but time is precious. So, we try to fit as much in to our day as possible. Maybe it’s career and family life, fitness and hobbies, or social life with friends, and other relationships and commitments. But sometimes life can become too demanding because we keep saying ‘yes’ and commit to so many things. It’s hard to juggle it all, and whilst it might have seemed like a good idea to try and do as much as possible, it can start to weigh us down. When this happens, we can feel overloaded and stressed, which in return is simply exhausting – physically as well as mentally.
Our nervous system reacts to stressful times by releasing stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, as part of the body’s flight or fight response, to help us cope better. When we sense a threat or danger, our body rises to the challenge by releasing these stress hormones which tighten the muscles, making our blood pressure rise and our heart and lungs work harder, and releasing a surge of fat and sugar to give us energy. In normal situations when the pressure or danger has passed, hormone levels should calm down and the heart, blood pressure and other body systems get back to normal. However, if our daily life’s challenges give no time for recuperation, then the nervous system triggers an ongoing stress response, and our body doesn’t use up the chemicals it makes to protect us. Continuous strain can lead to numerous symptoms such as nervous restlessness, memory and concentration problems, headaches and chest pain, which in the long term can be damaging to our health.
There are lots of ways that experts suggest we can help to minimise life’s daily challenges and try and protect ourselves from stress:
Unfortunately, sleeping problems are common when we are suffering from stress. Daytime restlessness impacts on night-time sleeplessness causing a knock-on stress cycle effect. After a full-on day, we can feel exhausted and look forward to sleeping well at night to recover. But due to the tension that has built up in our system during our hectic day it can be difficult to fall asleep; or sleep can be light, meaning we wake in the night and can’t get back to sleep. Without a good night’s sleep, the following day is often an uphill struggle, leading to even more tension and stress.

During the day, it can help us regain our inner balance to feel more relaxed and be able to handle stressful situations more calmly. Concentration and performance are retained without any risk of addiction or drowsiness, and sleep is better at night.
