Survey Finds Many Adults Lack Alone Time

News summary

A recent survey conducted by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center revealed that 56% of adults believe alone time is essential for their mental health, particularly during the hectic holiday season. Approximately 46% of respondents reported feeling they lack sufficient alone time during this period. Dr. Sophie Lazarus, a clinical psychologist involved in the study, emphasized that brief moments of solitude can help reduce stress and settle the nervous system, which is crucial given the adverse effects of chronic stress. She suggests practical ways to carve out alone time, such as putting away phones or taking short breaks in the car. The findings underscore the importance of prioritizing self-care amidst holiday commitments. Overall, the survey highlights the need for individuals to balance social obligations with personal well-being.
