Statistics website Statista put together a chart for The Independent showing the top five causes of stress in the UK, based on information from a global GfK survey. Money worries affected 30 per cent of respondents, while 28 per cent said they were concerned the amount of pressure they put on themselves was responsible for their stress levels. In third place, 22 per cent of respondents named not getting enough sleep as the major cause of their stress. This was followed by the amount of work they have to get done each day and concerns about their health, both of which were major causes of stress for 19 per cent of British people.
