These changes can put a strain on both mind and body.

In a new environment, you use more energy than usual.
- Tension from adjusting to the environment
- Increase in situations requiring care

If this continues, fatigue accumulates unknowingly and manifests as stress.
Also, disruptions in your daily rhythm are one of the reasons you might feel stressed more easily.
