An investigation carried out by the consultancy Voices! and WIN Internationalreflects the disturbing fact that Argentina is positioned among the countries in the world where sleep is worst. The survey they carried out also revealed that there is among the territories that have the greatest stress on its inhabitants.
This study was carried out at a global level, in the context of a new World Mental Health Day. The results warned that Argentina remains on the dangerous podium of the most affected countries at the stress level, a fact that influences sleep. At the same time, both factors are determinants for psychological well-being.
The survey was carried out in 39 major countrieswhere these two vital notions for human beings were investigated. First place was occupied by Peruturning out to be the most affected country in Latin America.
Survey results and causes of stress
According to the research, 32% of respondents worldwide had negative responses to stress. In concrete terms, that percentage classified it as “quite bad” or “very bad.”
In Argentina, it was observed that 54% of the responses regarding this problem were negative. It was positioned just below Peru, where 56% responded negatively. Third place went to Nigeria, with 51% negativity.
Of course, the figures vary according to regions, nationalities and age groups. Individually, these change according to the life experience and economic position of each respondent, as well as their age.
Thus, it is evident thathe sectors most affected by stress are women and young people. As they indicate, 59% female of the country rated their stress level negatively, compared to 48% of men.
For its part, 72% of youth expressed themselves negatively regarding this problem. This age range was calculated taking people between 18 and 24 years old.
In terms of geography, Buenos Aires, and especially the Federal Capital, was the place where the most stress was detected.. 62% of CABA residentsand expressed with a thumbs down, while in the Greater Buenos Airesthis happened with the 59%.
At par, the interior of the country showed lower numberswith 51% affected by stress. For the pollster, this highlights the influence of urbanism in stress.
Furthermore, according to the study, work is the main generator of stress worldwide, mentioned by 24% of respondents. This is followed by lack of moneywith 21%, and in third place, the familywith 19%.
Particularly in Argentinathere is a similar trend, although a greater emphasis on lack of moneywhich affects 29% of those surveyed.
In addition to these causes, the health and lack of employment They represent 9% and 7% respectively. While in 6% of the population, changes in lifesuch as moving or new responsibilities, are stress generators.
Problems with sleep
In the world, 68% of respondents rated their sleep level positivelywhile 3 out of 10 consider it “bad” or “quite bad”. However, in Argentina, the numbers reflect greater concernsince 36% of those surveyed reported problems getting a good night’s sleep, and only 60% expressed satisfaction with the quality of their sleep.
Gender differences were also evident, because 65% of Argentine men expressed that their dream is favorable, compared to women, where only 55% responded positively.
In addition, it was reported that the age range over 65 years sleeps better, since 68% report good sleep. This index can be observed according to economic positioning and educational level as well, while people with a higher level of education and purchasing power tend to have a better perception of their rest.
So, young Argentines are the ones who perceive their health the worst compared to other age groups. This can be seen in both patterns: sleep quality and accumulated stress. Among people aged 18 to 24, 42% consider that their rest is considerably bad, compared to 29% of those over 65 years of age.
