There are two types of people in this world: those who love mornings and those who hate them. If you are on the side of the fence of those who don’t like waking up, you have a lot of company.

According to SWNS, a recent survey determined the morning is the most stressful time of the day, but the survey goes even further to pinpoint the most stressful time down to the minute.

Along with giving information on why this particular time was so stressful, the survey also talked about some of the different things that lead to stress. It is hoped that this information will help people rather than just being an interesting topic.

To determine when adults have the most stress in their lives, 2000 Brits were brought into the study. OnePoll conducted the survey on behalf of Rescue Remedy.

Without further ado, the most stressful time of the day is 7:23 AM. Interestingly, even though that is the most stressful time, the typical stressors don’t begin until 8:18 AM.

We all know that we have drama in our lives, but did you realize that it occurs an average of three times daily? Men tend to do well until about 8:43 AM when they experience their first real stress. Women start to stress at about 7:50 AM.

According to Edingburgh News, a Rescue Remedy spokesperson, Zuzana Bustikova, said: “Often when we think ‘drama,’ we think big, but the research shows how much of an impact seemingly small niggles can have on our daily moods.”

What were some of the everyday dramas that we experience? The biggest include the following:

– Spilling Something on Your Clothing

– Getting Stuck in Traffic

– Dropping Something and Breaking It Accidentally

– Soiling the Carpet by Spilling Something

– Waking up Late

SWNS went on to talk about how your entire day could be offset by a single night of poor sleep. Perhaps that is why it doesn’t surprise anyone that mornings typically bring about the first drama of the day.

The top causes behind the dramas tended to be tiredness (46%), not sleeping well (36%), and a busy workday (33%).

24% of those surveyed said it is difficult to relax when minor annoyances occur. 35% of those polled said those little dramas were just a part of everyday life.

Everyday annoyances can also impact our lives in other ways. 41% of those surveyed said they had been kept awake at night because of a simple annoyance. These numbers included 50% of women and 32% of men.

When we experience those small dramas throughout the day, we may feel frustrated (32%) or anxious (23%). About 21% admitted that everyday anxieties could leave you feeling tired.

Some things that helped most people with these anxieties included walking or listening to music. If you can get some alone time, it may also help.

Knowing this information may not help stop the annoyances from occurring, but it does let you know you aren’t alone in your feelings.

Perhaps Bustikova summed things up best when she said: “Taking small steps to build our emotional resilience, even on those difficult days, can make a huge difference in helping us live life to the fullest.”
