No, it is not anxiety or fatigue: Heart doctor reveals the most overlooked sign that your body is under stress

US based interventional cardiologist Dr Sanjay Bhojraj has highlighted that one of the most overlooked signs of stress is waking up abruptly in the middle of the night, often between 1 and 3 AM. In a recent Instagram video report, he explained that elevated cortisol levels caused by emotional overload, unstable blood sugar or inflammation disrupt the bodys natural restorative state. He emphasised that such nighttime awakenings act as a metabolic alarm, signalling hidden stress and the need for early attention to prevent long term health consequences.
