Feeling Bored?

Boredom could be shaving years off your life, scientists have found.
Researchers say that people who complain of boredom are more likely to die young, and that those who experienced 'high levels' of tedium are more than two-and-a-half times as likely to die from heart disease or stroke than those satisfied with their lot.
More than 7,000 civil servants in the UK were studied over 25 years - and those who said they were bored were nearly 40 per cent more likely to have died by the end of study than those who did not.
Researcher Martin Shipley, who co-wrote the report to be published in the International Journal of Epidemiology this week, said: "The findings on heart disease show there was sufficient evidence to say there is a link with boredom."
The original survey found that one in ten civil servants had been bored within the past month, with women more than twice as likely than men to suffer.
Younger employees and those with more menial jobs were also found to be more prone to boredom.
Those who reported feeling a great deal of boredom were 37 per cent more likely to have died by the end of the study.
