Surprising Things You Didn't Know Were Stressing You Out

令人惊讶的你不知道会增加你的压力的事情

Open-plan offices

开放式办公室

It's not exactly news that your job can raise your stress levels, but the setup of your office is also a contributing factor. Many studies have shown that open-plan offices can lead to more stress among employees. Perhaps it's related to the fact that noise triggers the fight-or-flight response.

这算不上什么新闻,你的工作可以提高你的压力水平,但是你的办公室的设置也是一个因素。许多研究表明,开放式办公室可能会导致员工更大的压力。也许是相关噪声触发“战或逃反映”的事实。

Surfing the web and texting before bed

在睡觉前上网和发短信

Using certain forms of technology right before bed can stress you out. One study showed that people who texted and surfed within two hours of going to bed had greater stress levels than those who didn't, says LiveScience. However, not all forms of technology engagement increases stress. Watching TV and responding to emails apparently don't have an adverse effect.

在睡前使用某种形式的技术可以增加压力。一项研究表明,那些发短信和上网两小时内睡觉比那些没有这样做的有更大的压力,《生活科学》说。然而,并不是所有形式的技术接触都会增加压力。看电视和回复邮件显然没有不利影响。
