Going to work and sending the kids to school is the most stressful time of the day, according to a new survey.
2,000 people in Britain were asked by some scientists what was the most stressful time of the day, and the results showed that 7:23 am was the most stressful time.
They were also asked to rank the 50 most stressful events in a typical day. Standing in traffic, spilling something on the carpet and waking up late were among the top five.
The survey found that adults face about three stressful events each day. They appear about an hour earlier in women than in men.
The latest research was done by the Rescue Remedy Organization, which sells tablets, creams and liquids that claim to help relieve stress.
Zuzana Bustikova, head of Rescue Remedy, said that “often when we think 'drama' we think big things, but research shows how much impact seemingly small problems can have on our everyday mood.
"We know that a bad night's sleep can affect the whole day. So it's no surprise that mornings are when the first drama is experienced."
Stressful events people faced were more likely to leave them frustrated (32 per cent), anxious (23 per cent) or tired (21 per cent).
Previous research has shown that chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and a weakened immune system.
