Are Men More Stressed Than Women?
Too much stress in the workplace is never a good thing, whether you're male or female. But a new survey by Medicash says more men are affected by it than women.
According to the survey's findings, 20 percent of men said they'd taken at least two sick days in the past month as a result of work-related stress. One in five also admitted they needed to an alcoholic drink every day after work to help them relax.
But stress-related health problems appear to affect more women than men, the survey also found. Around 45 percent of men said they had headaches because of stress, compared with 69 percent of women. Similarly, only 40 percent of men said they had sleeping difficulties caused by stress at work, compared with 57 percent of women.
