Monday Anxiety

How was your day today? If you needed aspirin after your Monday, you are not alone. There's new proof that Mondays really are the most stressful!

The evidence was presented Monday to the American Psychiatric Association conference. In a two year study that followed twelve hundred people, researchers found that, overwhelmingly, Mondays are more stressful than any other day of the week. If that's not enough, researchers say you're also more likely to have a heart attack or a stroke on a Monday.

Researchers say if people understand the Monday madness, maybe employers can work around it to relieve that anxiety a little.
