Stress: sooner or later we all have to deal with it. For one it is daily fare, while the other waltzes through life. Yet there would be one time of your day the most stressful, British research shows.
Is there one time of day that is more stressful than any other? That’s the question a team of British researchers (whose study was commissioned by the Rescue Remedy company) asked themselves. After interviews with more than 2000 people, it’s now official: early birds are worth it.
The most stressful time of your day is early in the morning: at 07:23. This is not surprising when you consider that daily stress, according to the study, mainly comes from fatigue, a bad night’s sleep and the prospect of a busy working day.
Biggest stressors
The survey also went a bit further, asking respondents what causes them the most stress throughout the day. Common answers included being stuck in traffic, spilling something, or oversleeping. According to the study, each person experiences an average of three stressful events per day, whether big or small.
Fortunately, solutions were also sought! This is how researchers found the three most common ways to get rid of that stress: taking a walk, listening to nice music and me-time. Maybe put on a cool song at 07:23 tomorrow morning?
