The Science Behind Why Seeing Your Partner Relieves Daily Stress and Fatigue
Summary
Seeing or interacting with your partner triggers brain hormones like oxytocin and dopamine that reduce stress, enhance feelings of safety, and alleviate fatigue.
Key Points
- Oxytocin, known as the 'love hormone', is produced when you hug or hold your partner, promoting relaxation and safety.
- Cortisol levels decrease through affectionate interactions, reducing stress and fatigue.
- Dopamine release on seeing a loved one improves mood and refreshes a tired mind.
- Feeling secure with a partner sends signals to the brain to relax and rest, easing mental and physical fatigue.
