Yes, extreme stress does wear a body out. Even just being consumed of the DID condition is stressful, too. We are geared high, so it's nonstop going, then when the wheels seize, we sleep in sometimes. Well take a power nap mid-day to recharge from time to time, especially when we only get 6 hours of sleep at night.

Going out for a brisk/walk/run and some exercise helps relieve stress here. Sometimes sleeping too much creates more stress for me because now we aren't doing the things that we need to do.
