Life cannot be imagined without stress. To an extent, psychological stress is such a part of our life, which can prove to be necessary for normal personality development.

Did you know that Internet Scrolling can help reduce stress levels? While social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have been associated with anxiety and depression, the Internet has not been considered as bad. If you sit on your bed and watch cute videos of animals while sleeping at night through videos, then it can definitely help to calm your brain.
According to a new study, watching videos of cute animals may be useful for you. A study has shown that watching videos of cute animals can reduce your stress levels by almost 50 percent. The study was published in First Stop Singapore by the University of Leeds, United Kingdom in partnership with Western Australia Tourism. This group said in their study that a few minutes of seeing cute animals can reduce stress and anxiety. In the study, the volunteers were shown pictures and videos of cute animals for thirty minutes and it was found that it affects their blood pressure, heart rate and anxiety.
One of CNN's leading scientists. Andrea Utley told that we made this thirty minute video of cuteness, some of which were kittens, some were puppies, some were gorillas, some were Quokka. Quokka found in Western Australia is often called the happiest animal in the world. The part of his face looks like a permanent smile.
This original research was conducted in December 2019, in which there were a total of nineteen volunteers. Fifteen students and four employees were involved in it. It was held in December, as winter exams take place during very stressful times, especially for medical students. In every case, after thirty minutes of watching these videos, blood pressure, heart rate and anxiety decreased. On average, there was a 6.5% decrease in heart rate and 35% decrease in anxiety. All the candidates' blood pressure fell to the "ideal pressure range".
While heart rate and BP are easy to measure with the help of devices, anxiety is difficult to measure. The study also revealed that most people still like to watch videos, especially with animals and human relationships. So, if you are feeling stressed and you have thirty minutes, then you can watch this kind of video.
