| What worsens your stress and sleep problems | Question 04/03/20 2:10 AM EST |

| I guess it’s like. . . when I need to go to sleep, I start stressing that I won’t be able to, and then I start worrying about everything else–graduating, the CPA exam, finding a job, moving out of my mom’s–and everything sort of piles up. So it’s, like, having the time and space to let myself start thinking about what I’m worried about that makes me really start stressing, I guess. | ||
