Daily stress and tension?
Stress And Tension. Pressure of work, kids, money, traffic, not enough hours in the day? It's stress of life today that results in more days lost to business than anything else.
Stress is necessary to all humans, without some stress we will actively seek out stressful situations. Some people thrive on levels of stress that others couldn't, we're all different.
What we all have in common is that we all have a stress limit above which we cannot cope. We start to forget things, we become snappy, we find ourselves unable to concentrate.
But there is a more sinister side to stress.
Prolonged high levels of stress subject the body to high levels of stress hormones such as adrenalin. For short durations this is beneficial to us but prolonged exposure is thought to reduce the bodies immune function and can increase susceptability to disease. In addition, the possibility of potentially fatal complications such as preforated gastric ulcers, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels have long been associated with high and prolonged stress levels.
So, whilst you should try to keep your stress levels in check and to seek medical advice or appropriate counselling if you have a stress related medical condition, for more normal levels of stress good quality and duration of sleep can help the body cope.
This is where the ORO Advanced Sleep System can make a big and lasting difference to your life.
