I dont know how you keep your hair but I know for me, its torture to my hair to keep it in a ponytail overnight. I can almost hear it tearing out of the root as my head tosses on the pillow. :-) When I dont want to sleep with it down I twist it up and put a bobby pin or two in it to hold it in place. It did wonders for reducing the hair loss for me. As for the stress...I can only suggest 'casting your care to the Lord'.
