Randoms-Study: Trying to be Happy is Stressful, & More

Do you answer work emails during non-work hours? Are you always “on” when it comes to work? You probably already know this – but it’s not healthy and it’s stressing you out. According to a new study, just the expectation that you will check work email during non-work hours can increase anxiety and have a negative effect on your health and relationships. That’s right, even if you don’t spend a lot of time checking work emails when you’re not working, the mere expectation has a negative effect on your mental and physical health. “Even when people don’t actually engage with emails, just knowing that (they’re) expected to reply really kind of obstructs their meaningful relationship with their spouse,” said co-author Liuba Belkin of Lehigh University. “This expectation really robs you (of) engagement with other non-work-related activities.” (Moneyish

First we’re told too little sleep is killing us … and now research says too MUCH sleep could be even worse. The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found that, for adults, sleeping more than 7-8 hours was linked to a higher risk of death. Those who slept 9 hours per night had a 14 percent higher risk of death and it shot up to 30 percent for those sleeping 10-plus hours a night. (The Ladders

Women have a lot of stuff on their minds in the morning – but, apparently, sex it isn’t one of them. According to a survey by Mattress Advisor, 63 percent of women say they never have morning sex. Why no morning mambo? 51 percent of the women surveyed said they were "not in the mood,” 36 percent said they didn't have enough time, 34 percent said they didn't like morning sex, 33 percent didn’t have enough energy, and 30 percent wanted more sleep. On the other hand, 51 percent of men said they'd like to have regular morning action. (Women’s Health

Is trying to be happy making you miserable? A 2017 survey found that only 33 percent of Americans said they were happy. And the reason just may be that we are trying too hard. New research, published in the journal Emotion, found that focusing on happiness can make people more likely to obsess when negative things happen – leading to more stress. “Happiness is a good thing, but setting it up as something to be achieved tends to fail,” said study co-author Brock Bastian of the University of Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences in Australia. “Our work shows that it changes how people respond to their negative emotions and experiences, leading them to feel worse about these and to ruminate on them more.” (Time
