Sleep is something that your body and mind need to be able to recuperate and combat stress on a daily basis. Some function relatively well with a few hours of sleep every night, but most need at least eight hours of sleep a day.

If you feel you are at the end of your ability to handle stressors, try taking a nap or going to bed early that night.
