Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not just random text, but has its roots in classical Latin literature dating back to 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, professor of Latin at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the weirder Latin words, consectetur, from Lorem Ipsu Weekend Headache

During non-working days, the body and mind enter a completely different period. A sudden drop in stress can affect our mood, but it can also show itself in the form of physical symptoms.

One of the most common is headache. Severe pains in the area of ​​the frontal lobe or the back of the head and migraines are the first indicators of the accumulation of stress.

2. Very strong menstrual pains

Women who are constantly under stress are twice as likely to have very painful periods than those who are not stressed every day. The reason is that stress affects the level of hormones in the body. When the balance is disturbed, we feel it in the form of spasms and pain in the lower back, every or every other period.

3. Bad sleep and unusual dreams

Dreams are a sign of deep and healthy sleep, which is why we wake up in the morning in a better mood and more rested. But when the body is under stress, sleep becomes shallow and interrupted. A bad dream brings with it heavy thoughts and worries, which can make dreams short and unusual. If you experience these or similar symptoms, try to sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a day and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed.

4. Increased desire for sweets

When you have a burning desire for chocolate, and you ate it recently, you don't have to immediately blame it on PMS, but on a stressful lifestyle. Research has revealed that a stressed body encourages sweet cravings more than menopause and premenstrual periods. The reason is that chocolate stimulates the secretion of serotonin - the hormone of pleasure and satisfaction.

5. Stomach aches

Dull and inexplicable stomach pains or stomach ailments are the most common symptoms of strong and chronic stress. Research conducted on a sample of 2.000 respondents confirmed that people who were going through the most stressful periods of their lives felt numerous complaints related to stomach pain, indigestion and stomach problems.
