A study from the Pennsylvania State University suggests people are more relaxed at work than at home. It could be because at work place, you have specific things to do. But at home, a lot of things, especially if you have kids, keep you always on your toes.

"Happier work life than you do a home life than obviously you're going to be more stressed possibly at home and vice versa. The ideal would be to be happy at both", affirmed Dr. Glen Hepker.

The key to remain happy at work or at home is reducing the number of tasks, which makes you more relaxed. In fact, even science says some people go to office just to relax. It is possible as for many work is part of their routine.

The study found people at work have their specific goals to achieve and accordingly they focus on their work and achieve their targets. This phenomenon applies for low and high incomes as well. Sarah Damaske, Professor at Penn State, unveiled people with lower income have more stress reduction at work.

Researchers measured stress levels in two ways. Firstly, by monitoring cortisol levels of 122 participants and asking them to rate their own moods. Cortisol levels rise in stressful conditions and are measured by swabbing the patient's cheek.

Results unveiled that women are happier at work than at home. On the other hand, men reported being happier at home than at work. On weekends, both men and women felt happier at home than on weekdays.
