Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):Stress and anxiety are a state-demand mismatch: Too tired to do what you have to do feels bad. Too stressed to do it feels the same way. Tired when you need to sleep feels good. Wide awake when you need to sleep does not. Stressed, anxious, worried are labels you put on one thing: your internal state isn't matching the demands placed on you. So the question isn't which emotion you're in. It's whether the state fits the demand, and which one of the two you're going to change. @hubermanlab
