Research commissioned by OnePlus says that the end of year rush creates a lull in Gen Z relationships. Ten percent admitted to falling asleep on dates, and eight percent claims to have nodded off during sex.
Tis the season to feel burnout, fa-la-la-la-la.
A new Gen Z analysis, conducted by tech company OnePlus ahead of its smartphone rollout, supports claims that the beginning of the festive period marks the commencement of a dry spell for young singles looking to get hitched.
Before the holiday requests can be green lit, millions of Gen Z Brits have to endure a barrage of work deadlines, while also juggling an influx of social commitments. If you’re not added to a handful of new WhatsApp chats this month, are you even Gen Z?
A poll of 2,000 adults found that 38 percent, which OnePlus is claiming may equate to 23.4 million of the UK population, considers the final year push as the most exhausting period of the year by far.
It highlights the strangely specific period of 36 days between November 5 and December 11 as the most mentally overwhelming on the calendar for Gen Z. Personally speaking, I have suddenly become acutely aware of my Monzo’s modest capacity in the run-up to the King’s speech.
Just under three quarters – that’s 72 percent – revealed that the greatest source of anxiety and frustration comes from the vast uptick in social pressures. Everyone wants a pre-Christmas drink, family members jump out the woodwork with dinners, and if you’re a parent, the nightly pressure of Elf on the Shelf will have you cursing the sky.
On that, 40 percent said that they find it difficult managing family stresses such as childcare, attending school events, and preparing family activities for the holidays.
