The last tip to avoid stress at home is to reduce alcohol and nicotine consumption. If consumed in small amounts, the two things above can indeed function as antidepressants. However, if you consume a lot, the effect will reverse and make you feel even more tired. Heavy compounds carried by alcohol will make our hearts beat faster, creating feelings of nervousness and anxiety.
