The main causes of stress are lack of free time, excessive obligations, pressure and problems. As we add years, we tend to have less free time to enjoy leisure, therefore, we can disconnect less from everything that worries us.
The consequences of stress

In addition, stressed people have difficulties falling asleep and resting well, therefore, they feel tired. The vision of life is more negative than positive under the threat of stress that presents itself as a danger.
