It's a symptom rather than a problem.

Some jobs are incredibly stressful - often the result of being given responsibility for things which are either out of your control or you don't have resources appropriate to address. Sadly, this intense pressure inspires high levels of performance at the cost of the individual's sanity.

If your phone is your "inbox" or the way you're notified of incidents then it's natural that over time a notification will signal your endochrine system to go into fight or flight mode.

When a lizard sees a moving shadow and darts for the bushes - that doesn't mean it's scared of shadows it just doesn't want to get eaten by a swooping raptor.
