You may have had a moment like this.

Wash off your exhaustion at night, put on comfortable clothes, and lie in the comfortable quilt, thinking that you can finally lie on the bed and have a good sleep. However, three minutes after you close your eyes, a question pops up in your mind: “Are you ready for the briefing for the meeting with the client at three o’clock tomorrow?”

The body is tired and clamoring, but the brain seems to be against you. At 2 o’clock in the morning, you start to think about all kinds of trivial things in life: this month’s mortgage is about to come due, the child has school activities the day after tomorrow but there is no time to help him prepare clothes, how should I talk to the boss Talk about a promotion…? All kinds of pressure in life make you anxious and unable to sleep.

With the increasing pace and time of modern work, people’s physical and mental imbalances are caused by the pressure in all aspects of life. Therefore, more and more stress-relieving and healing products are appearing.

In March 2023, Women’s Fans and InSeed jointly conducted the “Women’s Life Stress Survey” and collected 1197 questionnaires to understand the main source of stress in modern women’s lives, the physical and mental changes caused by stress, and further understand their Ways to relieve stress.

Perhaps in the results of this investigation, you can also clarify your source of stress step by step, and start to find your own ways to relieve stress.

“Where should I go next?” Career confusion and economics are the source of stress for women

According to the survey, more than 70% of women have been in a state of “frequently stressed” in the past three months, and nearly 60% of them (57.8%) said that the pressure in the workplace is as high as 5 (very stress is 5 points) ).

We also learned more about the sources of workplace stress for women, and the results indicated that the collaborative relationship between colleagues did not bring too much pressure, but the busyness of work duties is one of the main sources of workplace stress, especially for their future career development. Confused, not sure where the next opportunity for salary increase/promotion is, and the associated financial pressure, such as student loans, mortgages, credit, etc., all make them feel the same pressure.

However, according to the survey results, although the female respondents said that they need to spend a lot of time in their lives playing the roles of daughters, wives, and caregivers, nearly 70% of them think that the stress index of getting along with family relatives is only 1 point , 40.8% of the people also think that the stress index of caring for children is only 1 point.

Insomnia affects work efficiency and falls into a vicious cycle of stress

When there is stress in the workplace, it directly affects women’s psychology and emotions, and further affects the quality of sleep. According to the questionnaire survey:

91.6% of the women believed that the most direct impact of stress was on their own psychological emotions, followed by sleep habits (82.4%).

Chairman of Taiwan Mental Health Development Association / Executive Director of Haomeng Psychotherapy Institute – Wu Jiashuo clinical psychologist also said:

Clinically, the main reasons for women to go to counseling are often related to psychological issues, sleep disturbance, and physical and mental health.

At the same time, he also said that according to recent data from the Taiwan Society of Sleep Medicine, women have slightly higher insomnia problems caused by stress than men. For example, the proportion of women with chronic insomnia in 2017 was 13.9%, while that of men was 8.6%. This may be related to hormonal changes such as menstrual period, menopause or pregnancy.

And when the quality of sleep declines, it may cause women to have poor memory and inability to concentrate, which will affect various aspects of life and fall into a vicious circle.
