a psychological and physiological response to pressures related to academic demands, such as exams, assignments, and high expectations from family or faculty. Moderate levels of stress can be a positive motivator, encouraging students to organize their time and work hard. However, excessive stress can lead to anxiety, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and even decreased academic performance. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, good planning, and psychological support is critical to maintaining students’ well-being and improving the quality of their learning.
