 Stressed out: The typical adult spends a year and a half of their life worrying. |
|
Stressed Britons spend 36 minutes every day wallowing in despair, a study has revealed. The typical adult spends a year and a half of their life worrying, with the high cost of living, feeling out of shape and mounting debt the most common causes for concern. Researchers discovered getting old, job security and a dire sex life also leave a dark cloud looming over millions of us. The study also found extreme anxiety has meant many people are distracted at work, enduring sleepless nights and even suffering rifts with their partners. One in 10 felt restless for more than two hours a day, while one in two worries so much their health has suffered. 'A large chunk of the nation feels considerably worried and people are wasting far too much time stressing about things, ' said a spokesman from the Everyman Campaign, which carried out the study. 'Money is dominating most of people’s thoughts - whether it’s mounting debt, how they’re going to pay their next set of bills or the fact they’ll never become financially secure. 'It's interesting to see how gaining weight is more of a concern than job security, and that petrol prices take priority over people’s sex lives. 'Work apprehensions also feature heavily in the top 50 list - feeling stressed and faced with unmanageable workloads and awkward bosses. ' The study of 2,000 British adults aged between 18 and 65 was carried out to mark the launch of Everyman’s Male Cancer Awareness Month. It found the average adult spends nine whole days a year worrying - which totals one year and six months during their life. Four in 10 are stressed about debt, a quarter are concerned that they are 'not living life to the full' and one in five is troubled about family members falling ill. The survey found three in 10 have become depressed due to their worrying, one in 10 admits it has affected their relationship with their kids and one in 20 has lost friends. (Read by Lee Hannon.

一項研究發現，壓力重重的英國人每天有36分鐘在焦慮中度過。 英國成人通常一生中有一年半的時間在煩惱，煩惱的原因大多是生活成本高、覺得身體狀況不佳或是債臺高筑。 研究人員發現，變老、工作不穩定、性生活很糟也會讓數百萬英國人心頭陰云密布。 研究還發現，極度焦慮意味著許多人在工作時不能集中注意力或經常失眠，甚至和伴侶的關系會產生裂痕。 十分之一的英國人每天感覺煩躁的時間超過兩個小時，而有半數的英國人因為過度煩惱而影響了身體健康。 開展這一研究的“凡人”運動的發言人說：“很大一部分國人都相當焦慮，人們浪費在煩惱上的時間太多了。” “金錢問題是給人們造成最多困擾的問題，不管是堆積如山的債務，還是如何償付下一次賬單，或是永遠無法在經濟上獲得保障。” “有趣的是，和工作不穩定相比，人們更擔心體重增加，油價則比性生活更重要。” “和工作有關的煩惱在壓力來源前50名中占了很大比重：工作壓力大、不堪承受的工作負擔和難以應付的上司。” 這項研究涵蓋了2000名年齡在18歲和65歲之間的英國成人。開展該研究是為了紀念“凡人”發起男性癌癥宣傳月活動。 研究發現，一名英國成人平均每年有整整九天時間在煩惱中度過，一生中的“煩惱時光”共是一年零六個月。 十分之四的英國人為債務憂心，四分之一的人擔心自己沒能“擁有充實的人生”，五分之一的人因為家人生病而發愁。 調查發現，十分之三的人因為過度煩惱而感到抑郁，十分之一的人承認自己的抑郁情緒已經影響到和孩子的感情，還有二十分之一的人為此而失去了朋友。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：馮明惠） |
