BRITONS STRUGGLE TO FIND TIME FOR A CUP OF TEA
A study of 2,000 adults found a fast pace of life combined with rising work pressures and a phone that never stops means few people “switch off”.
Other factors include the stress of being a parent, longer commuting times and financial pressures amid rising costs of living.
The research found those who do find the time, only do so for an average of 54 minutes a day.
The research also found the difficulties we have switching off mean we’re left feeling “mentally frazzled” twice a week on average.
Four in 10 admit their difficulty in unwinding has had a negative impact on their home life. More than half are so busy they have no time to take a tea break.
These include taking longer tea breaks during their working day, not looking at their mobile devices in the evening and reading a book before going to bed.
