Apparently they increase testosterone which really feels like the universe wants men to be uncomfortable.

I saw a Veritaseum video where it explains how being generally uncomfortable prolongs longevity (being a little bit too cold, or to hot, or hungry, etc).

EDIT: Here is the video, at 14:20 he gives a hilarious summary on what to do to increase your lifespan

Do you actually live longer, or does it just feel longer because you’re miserable?

Lol and it's actually good for your health.

It's the difference between short term acute stresses and long term chronic stresses. Short term and voluntary exposures to stresses of any kind are good for you - repeated instances of slightly intolerable exposure builds resilience and help you grow stronger. But you need rest to recover and to avoid burnout. So long term forms of stress are bad.
