This Powerpoint graphic represents the level of anxiety by daypart over the course of an average week, with readings taken at 8 AM, noon and 6 PM daily. Anxiety levels generally peak early in the days, with the highest levels reached on Monday morning, although fear, dread and negative anticipation are also very elevated on Friday afternoon, when for some reason horrible things tend to happen, and Sunday night, when pervasive questions pertaining to the meaning of existence and the whether the whole thing is worth it arise.
