<p>Looking at their current stress levels, the survey found that 41% said they’re at their peak stress for the year so far. ALEXEI MARIDASHVILI VIA UNSPLASH.</p>

<p>New research shows that the average American experiences stress 156 times a year, which can cause their head to spin.</p>
<p>A survey of 2,000 adults found that these stress headaches break down to three times a week and that respondents recalled having brain fog just as often.</p>

<p>Conducted by Talker Research for Traditional Medicinals, the results showed that while 30% are hopeful that their stress level will go down by the end of the year, a quarter of respondents (26%) think there’s a chance it’ll go up.</p>

<p>Comparing their stress levels to previous years, 38% of those surveyed said that 2024 has been more stressful than 2023 but less so than 2022 and the preceding years.</p>

What is it about this year that’s worsening their woes? Respondents can’t stop thinking about their finances (35%), the economy (28%) and their physical health (25%).

Others are bearing the burden of the news landscape — particularly the 2024 presidential election (20%) and other world issues (19%).

“With cold and flu season approaching, self-care and stress management are more important than ever,” said Kristel Corson, chief marketing officer at Traditional Medicinals. “Half of those surveyed believe that stress is often the main cause of them getting sick, and when asked what season is most stressful, the highest percentage of respondents (26%) said winter given seasonal changes and the holidays.”

Respondents know they’re stressed when they have trouble sleeping (42%), feel irritable (37%), fatigued (34%), have headaches (33%), or feel worried or paranoid (31%).

Looking at how Americans combat these high-intensity moments, results showed that a majority feel overwhelmed during these times (58%).

Forty-seven percent turn on some music (47%), while another 39% look for comfort in their favorite TV shows and movies.

Food has its own calming effect, with nearly a fifth of respondents sharing that they have a snack (17%) or drink a cup of tea (14%) when they need to bring their stress down.

Seven in 10 (71%) agree that their overall mental health would be better if they could reduce their stress, highlighting the importance of self-care routines in the stress solution.

However, incorporating self-care strategies into daily life is a hurdle for one in seven Americans, and nearly half (47%) wish for simple options that fit into their busy schedules rather than elaborate routines.

When thinking about a “de-stressing regimen,” an equal percentage of respondents want long-term overall wellness and the ability to alleviate stress quickly (23% each).

“We believe in integrating ancient herbal wisdom with modern scientific advancements for a holistic approach to wellness,” said Corson. “Just 37% of survey respondents think that trendy stress relief options are successful, while nearly half felt confident in more traditional methods like yoga, meditation, or a calming tea.”

Respondents know they’re stressed when they have trouble sleeping (42%), feel irritable (37%), fatigued (34%), have headaches (33%) or feel worried or paranoid (31%). PRASANTH INTURI VIA PEXELS.
