- The stress of the day is apparent for 32% of people who develop a tension headache between 3-5pm
- Between 4-6pm 20% have stiff and sore fingers after a day of typing
- Between 4.30 - 6.30pm 31% of the nation is suffering from sore feet
- The daily grind leaves 31% of us with aches and pains between 5-8pm
- A day of staring at screens takes its toll at bedtime giving 30% tired and blurry eyes between 9-11pm
Just reading all these stats is giving Guru a headache. Time for a couple of pills and a lie down.
