73% of women take on the stress of their loved ones, a survey of 2,000 women split evenly by generation found. 72% feel pressure to take on this emotional labor, and 52% have faked being “fine.” The Talker Research survey done on behalf of Florastor found that high stress impacts women’s quality of sleep (44%), ability to focus (34%), and mental health (34%). When it comes to songs that best describe Americans’ stress levels, “Numb” by Linkin Park and “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie took the top spots. (Talker Research)
