Handling Jungle Stress with Sleep

Handling Jungle Stress with Sleep. With challenging terrains comes pressure or stress. The pressure really does start to mount when those business nightmares begin to play out before ones very eyes. It is a situation which could be likened to being badgered all around with no respite or feeling compressed. In tough business situations a Junglepreneur may feel cornered into a situation in which there is much distress, harassment and with little or no personal control and this brings on stress.
