While cortisol levels naturally peak in the morning to help you get up and at ’em, some research suggests that missing out on sleep could make that early spike (called the cortisol awakening response) bigger than usual—leaving you primed for a more anxious start to the day, Dr. Harris says. It’s no wonder research has also found a direct link between shortened sleep and higher morning anxiety levels in people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), a condition marked by persistent and excessive worry (at any hour).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cad-slot\u002F\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EYou’re dreading the demands of the day ahead.\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf your day is a mountain of to-dos you have to climb, morning is basically the equivalent of standing at the base—daunting as hell.

While anxiety can feel dizzying in the moment, it’s actually normal and good to care about things in your life, she says. For instance, if you’re spinning out over a work presentation, you can take that as a sign that you highly value career wins. And if you’re stressed out over which lunch or recess period your kid gets assigned, then you probably care a whole lot about their happiness at school.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce you recognize what’s at the root of your fear—the thing you really value—it becomes easier to figure out how to tackle it, Dr. Morray says.

How do you keep that pace?” Another way to break the ice before asking for their number is with a thoughtful observation, DeSantis adds—but make sure to focus on details that feel sincere, unforced, and well, not stalker-ish.
