  Behavioural signs of stress	Habitual responses
  eating too much or not enough, craving sugar, especially in the afternoon and after dinner	getting impatient when driving, especially in traffic jams, on the motorway or at traffic lights
  feeling rushed and a continual sense of not enough time	saying you haven’t got time to talk to people when they phone or come to talk to you
  increased alcohol, nicotine, caffeine or drug consumption	Feeling angry with people when you don’t immediately get what you want
  sleeping too much or not enough	Snapping at people for little or no reason
  social withdrawal, procrastination or neglect of responsibilities	feeling impatient on the phone especially if you are on hold etc
