Stress

The document describes the physiological stages of stress known as "fight or flight." It begins with resistance as the body tries to maintain balance against the stressor. If stress continues, fatigue and sleep problems can arise as the body enters the second stage of resistance. Prolonged stress leads to the final stage of exhaustion, where the body shuts down after days of fighting against stress and becomes susceptible to illness.
