Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of stress and its typical symptoms. Excessive stress usually leads to negative physical and psychological effects.
Review common symptoms of excessive stress, such as frequent headaches, increased irritability, and difficulty concentrating, which are well-documented in psychological research.
Recognize that improved sleep quality is generally not a symptom of excessive stress; in fact, stress often disrupts sleep patterns, causing insomnia or poor sleep quality.
Compare each option to typical stress symptoms and identify which one does not fit the pattern of negative effects caused by excessive stress.
Conclude that 'Improved sleep quality' is the exception because it contradicts the usual impact of excessive stress on sleep.
