Which of the following might be a sign of excessive stress?
a. being able to calm down quickly after experiencing stress
b. having trouble sleeping
c. being able to manage your stress fairly easily
d. understanding that the stress probably won’t last forever

The answer is letter B.

People who have troubles in sleeping are usually the ones who are under a lot of stress. Too much anxiety can cause the brain to overthink situations that are yet to come which then causes a restless state leading to a lack of sleep. Often times, people who lack sleep end up getting easily frustrated and most of the time get easily annoyed. To get out of this, one should practice at least 10 minutes of complete silence to reflect on things followed by deep breathing. This calms the mind and it helps it to shift the attention of a person putting him/her into a relaxed sleepy state.
