I'm feeling pretty relaxed. Must be the lack of sweets, treats, and overeats. Ask me again in a couple of weeks.

Overstuffed with holiday sweets? Christmas lists growing by the second? End-of-year work deadlines looming large? A U.K. survey suggests Monday, Dec. 10, is the most stressful day of the year.

The survey, commissioned by the Manchester-based health-care provider HealthSure, involved 500 people between the ages of 18 and 70 in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who were asked about their stress levels in relation to their occupations.

[...] Stress levels were set to peak between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., according to the survey.
