ABSTRACT
The third set of symptoms you should watch for are the behavioural signs of stress. You should look for these in yourself, but they are especially valuable in telling you about who in your workplace may be stressed and needing help. Some of the more common behavioural symptoms are:
■ indecision; ■ complaining unreasonably; ■ becoming accident prone; ■ driving carelessly; ■ poor work; ■ drinking more alcohol; ■ smoking more; ■ increased use of drugs (e.g. tranquillizers, sleeping tablets, illegal drugs); ■ eating more than usual (or sometimes eating too little); ■ change in sleep pattern; difficulty getting to sleep and waking tired.
