Well, it's nice to know that people look at my icons and my posts as entities that are supposed to go together... Sorry to throw you off. :-P
Yeah, stress causes an increase in cortisol in your bloodstream. There's a whole fun pathway that this affects, but I won't go into it. Cortisol is also the reason people tend to get sick right after finals. Anyway. I am feeling better (or more awake) now, but that could just be because I'm stressed out again.
