British People Worry A Lot

Two out of their twenty-four hours in day are spent by people in the United Kingdom thinking about thoughts of negative nature. In short, they worry a lot.

Two-thousand British people were surveyed by a company that makes herbal products. This company's name is Rescue Remedy. Their survey revealed that work or job remains the most ranked common cause of worry, among ten others.  Money, being tary and health of loved ones and of oneself are included in the first five concerns of people in their daily lives. The top ten worries also included relationships, missing public transportation, being unable to wake up to the alarm, one’s own appearance, and the safety of their family.

A majority, according to the findings of the researchers, of the people who were surveyed have expressed that worrying has already had some effects on their well-being. In fact, eighty-four percent of the participants have experienced difficulties in sleeping because of worrying. Others have also said that it led to breakups, fights with their partners, and even the loss of their job. While thirty-four percent were glad to share their concerns with others, one in four admitted that they often keep their worries to themselves. Eight out of ten respondents also admitted that they tend to worry more than they have to.

Anxiety and insomnia have been found to have a positive connection or correlation by multiple studies from different parts of the world. Trouble in sleeping is mostly found in people who have anxiety disorders. Alternatively, people with insomnia have a higher probability of developing an anxiety disorder, even if they have no previous history of it. The study also suggests that getting ample amount of sleep is a good way to counter both problems.
