Feeling stressed? A recent survey by Harris Interactive listed the following 'hassles' as those most likely to lead to stress:
- Money (rising prices, 74%; concerns about money for emergencies, 53% and not having enough money for basic necessities, 36%)
- Having too many things to do (56%)
- Having trouble sleeping (53%)
- Concerns about health (43%)
- Illness of a family member (36%).
- Having too much information to process at any one time (33%),
- Feeling lonely (29%)
- Problems at work (24%)
According to the survey, a smaller number of older adults (61+) report experiencing stress,and are less likely to worry about having too many things to do, to have concerns about money for emergencies or basic necessities, to feel that they have too much information to process at anyone time or to feel lonely. Researchers found that the younger the people are, the more likely they are to experience loneliness.
