According to researchers, there is one thing that matches the stress of not having enough free time: having too much, the Daily Mail reported.

Experts asked 1,329 teenagers how much spare time they had, and how happy they were.

Those who thought they had little free time were often miserable -- but teens with plenty of time to themselves soon run out of things to do.

"What is more desirable: too little or too much spare time on your hands? To be happy, somewhere in the middle," the researchers said.

The report concluded: "Living with a sensible, balanced amount of free time promotes well-being not only directly, but also by helping to alleviate some of the negative side effects associated with living in our consumer-orientated society."

太多休假反而壓力更大

???????據(jù)英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，專(zhuān)家稱(chēng)，壓力并不僅僅來(lái)自于只有一點(diǎn)兒可憐的自由時(shí)間，也來(lái)自于擁有太多自由休息的時(shí)間。

???????專(zhuān)家對(duì)1329名青少年進(jìn)行了調(diào)查，到底多少自由的時(shí)間會(huì)更幸福。

???????那些只有很少的自由時(shí)間的人認(rèn)為自己很慘，其實(shí)有大把時(shí)間的人也不會(huì)好到哪里去，他們會(huì)很快浪費(fèi)用掉大量的時(shí)間。

???????那到底哪個(gè)更悲慘些呢？很少的時(shí)間還是大把的時(shí)間呢？專(zhuān)家稱(chēng)，其實(shí)，適量的自由時(shí)間才會(huì)感覺(jué)最快樂(lè)。

???????研究表明，生活中擁有適量、和諧的自由時(shí)間不僅會(huì)使人感到幸福，而且可以幫助生活在消費(fèi)社會(huì)的人們減輕負(fù)面情緒影響。
