The Most Stressful Time of Day

he average person estimates that they lose 20 minutes and 28 seconds, on average, to morning chaos.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a morning person or a night person…mornings are more stressful than evenings.

A new survey says that “the most stressful time of the day” is 8:15 in the morning. That makes sense as the time usually involves some combination of getting ready, helping others get ready, preparing and eating breakfast, commuting, helping others get to work or school and generally operating before the caffeine kicks in. On top of the usual running around, mornings are also more likely to bring unexpected challenges. The average person estimates that they lose 20 minutes and 28 seconds, on average, to morning chaos that’s mostly out of their control.
