9. Get some rest
Believe it or not, your stress could be mounted as a result of a lack of rest. Sleep is vital for both your physical and mental health. When you sleep, your metabolic rate slows, which allows your body and mind to repair itself. If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you are overrunning your system.
This could be damaging for a number of reasons; most notably, it can increase your stress levels. When you’re over-worked, you probably notice that you’re extremely irritable and short on patience.
When stress levels are high, give yourself a break and get some rest – or take a nap!
