When falling in love, many people cannot eat and sleep normally - they are too nervous to do these simple things.

ADVICE.NEWS explained why falling in love makes these seemingly simple things so difficult.

Excitement and happiness

Being in love can make people feel excited and happy.

These strong emotions can make it difficult to relax and calm down, which in turn makes it difficult to sleep.

Rethinking and Waiting

When someone is in love, his mind is usually occupied with thoughts of the person he loves.

People reflect on their relationships, plans for the future, or simply replay happy moments in their minds.

Overthinking and anticipating can make it difficult to calm your mind and drift off to sleep.

Increased energy and alertness

Love can cause a surge of energy and increased alertness.

People may feel more alert and alive, making it difficult to relax and enter a calm state conducive to sleep.

Anxiety and stress

Love can also cause feelings of anxiety or stress, especially in the early stages or during uncertain periods of a relationship.

These emotions can cause anxiety and worry, making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Physical sensations

When people are in love, they may experience physical sensations such as a racing heart, butterflies in the stomach, or a general feeling of excitement.

These sensations can make it difficult to achieve the calm, relaxed state needed to fall asleep.
