I'm confused about the point of this sentence. I mean...why is a major life event minor? Does "this" refer to "change"? And, why would it emphsize "getting out of bed in the morning"?  | I think it really means this: Stress can range from an event as minor as getting out of bed in the morning to an event as major as giving birth or being bereaved. |
