According to new research, one in 10 young Americans schedule “worrying time.” A survey of 2,000 general population shows that 10% of young Americans (Gen Z and Millennial respondents) schedule a specific time of the day to worry. By comparison, only 3% of older Americans (Gen X and Baby Boomers) surveyed. The survey was conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Avocado Green Mattress by Earth Day in April, asking respondents why they scheduled “worrying time” or why they were considering doing so (38%) and revealed various benefits. Respondents said this helps reduce the time they spend and allows them to manage anxiety. Having some time to worry will also help with mental health and limit the impact of stress on life and their concerns about things that they cannot control.
