Friar Laurence notes that Romeo's early appearance signifies that something must be wrong..... that he must be anxious. He then says that is stress and anxiety aren't the explanation, Romeo must have stayed up all night.

Young son, it argues a distempered head So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed. Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie. But where unbruisèd youth with unstuffed brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign. Therefore thy earliness doth me assure Thou art uproused by some distemperature. Or if not so, then here I hit it right: Our Romeo hath not been in bed tonight.
