Lack of Shut-Eye: Biggest Stressor for Hessen Residents, Reveals Study
Major concern for Hessians: persistent sleep loss - Strain in Hesse predominantly stemming from sleep deprivation
Wanna know what's got 'em stressed out in Hessen? Yep, you guessed it - sleep deprivation. According to a poll by health insurer AOK Hessen, 39 percent of locals are sleepless and feeling the burn.
Family squabbles took the second spot on the stress podium, with a whopping 29% citing those as a major source of tension. Personal health woes and workplace pressure were close behind at 26% and 21%, respectively. If you're thinking, "I don't have a care in the world," then you're in a tiny, lucky minority - only 15% of those surveyed reported zero stress.
Now, listen up - sleep deprivation ain't just gonna leave you yawning and reaching for another cup of joe. No, siree. It can cause some serious trouble down the line, like increased blood pressure and heart rate (which can summon the Grim Reaper known as a heart attack), thanks to AOK's wise words.

The stressors list for Hessen doesn't stop there - other culprits include time pressures (19%), unwanted workplace or home noises (14%), overwhelming care responsibilities (7%), and child-rearing challenges (6%).
