How were your sleep patterns? I'm frankly amazed we don't consider that stress and sleep are two sides of the same physiological coin - the autonomic nervous system. Sleep is quite simply the recovery from stress and the damage caused.
I think that's an over simplification of sleep. I'm citing the large amount of scientific discussion on the nature of sleep and what happens as the source of my doubt.
Rest and recovery is by definition the parasympathetic nervous system and the work on the glymphatic system is showing the often studied views of sleep don't account for the common cause of garbage removal.
My sleep patterns back then were unregulated so I would regularly stay up late into the night, like every kid wants to, doing anything I wanted. Now my sleep 2/3AM to 10/11AM lol.
