When we\u2019re well-rested, our bodies are better equipped to manage daily stressors, maintaining a sense of calm and balance. Lack of sleep, however, disrupts the body&#8217;s ability to regulate cortisol levels, leading to heightened feelings of stress and overwhelm throughout the day.<\/p><p>Elevated cortisol levels can lead to irritability, difficulty concentrating, and an overall feeling of being on edge.
