Dream - Stress and pressure are common experiences in various situations. The level of stress experienced by each person varies. Some experience mild stress while others experience severe stress.

Causes of High Cortisol Levels

The causes of increased cortisol levels are diverse. Starting from excessive activity, consumption of certain medications, to suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer.

"How to Overcome High Cortisol Levels"

The cortisol level and stress level can be controlled by getting enough sleep time and quality. Dream friends can exercise regularly, eat at the right time or maximum 3-4 hours before sleep, and meditate to improve the quality of your sleep and free from insomnia, so that the cortisol level is maintained.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Research shows that regular exercise can improve sleep quality and reduce stress. However, excessive exercise can have negative impacts on health. Exercise for 20-30 minutes every day or 150 minutes per week. Don't forget to give your body time to rest in order to stay healthy."
