可怕的星期一!



  星期一男性所承受的心理压力最大,从而其自杀的概率要比其他时刻高出10%。因为在经过周六、周日两天的充分休息之后,男性一般会有‘一切又得重新开始’的想法,孤独感和无助感会随之大大增强。

  科学家解释说:“(星期一)醒来后的3个小时内是最为危险的,因为这段时间体内的应急激素含量相当高。这主要是一个漫长的工作周重新开始的缘故。”-psytopic.com


  科学家经过研究和统计,认为一周中,星期一成年男性承受的心理压力最大,最容易犯心脏病,从而最需要他人的关心。

  对3320名男性进行跟踪调查之后,科学家发现:星期一男性所承受的心理压力最大,从而其自杀的概率要比其他时刻高出10%。“因为在经过周六、周日两天的充分休息之后,男性一般会有‘一切又得重新开始’的想法,孤独感和无助感会随之大大增强。”科学家表示。

  另外研究还表明,星期一早上男性更容易犯心脏病,概率比其他时刻要高出33%。对此,科学家解释说:“醒来后的3个小时内是最为危险的,因为这段时间体内的应急激素含量相当高。这主要是一个漫长的工作周重新开始的缘故。”

  科学家建议:最好从星期一的午后再开始繁重的工作,之前的一段时间只“热热身”就行了。这样可以降低59%的心脏发病率。

  Blood pressure soars on Mondays

  The stress of returning to work on a Monday morning can trigger a dangerous increase in blood pressure, according to a study.

  The Tokyo Women's Medical University study shows blood pressure readings are higher than at any other time of the week.

  It may explain why deaths from heart attacks and strokes tend to peak on a Monday morning.

  There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.

  Heart disease is Britain's biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.

  High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one in five people in the UK and is a major risk factor for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted by blood on the walls of the arteries when the heart beats.

  To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women's Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock.

  A week later the recruits returned the devices so that researchers could assess how blood pressure had changed.

  The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning.

  Volunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which suggests work-related stress is most likely to blame.

  "Most people are free of the mental and physical burdens of work on a Sunday and experience a more stressful change from weekend leisure activities to work activities on Mondays," said Dr Murakami, who led the research.

  "There was a distinct peak on Mondays in this study."

  Professor Keith Fox, from the cardiovascular research unit at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, told reporters an early morning rise in blood pressure is probably a normal part of the body's 24-hour rhythm and unlikely to be a problem for healthy people.

  But he said: "If somebody already has cardiovascular disease then it might just tip them over the edge and trigger a heart attack.
