In today’s fast-paced, overstimulating world, our nervous systems rarely get a break. Constant notifications, screens, urban noise, and artificial environments can keep the body in a subtle state of fight-or-flight, leading to stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and mental fatigue. Modern research shows that chronic stress disrupts the autonomic nervous system, increasing cortisol, heart rate, and muscle tension while decreasing parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) activity.
