I'd like to see the results of a study of hypertension and stress related problems between say muslims who take a 10 minute 'mind clearing time-out' 5 times a day and those who don't ........not sure how you would find the subjects for the control groups in this day and age , but think he results would be interesting  |
It could be done with students. It could also be done across religions too I guess, comparing different types of prayer and worship.
Religion would have to be their only 'de-stressing' method though otherwise it wouldn't quite be right, and finding students that don't go out drinking isn't that simple. Maybe during exam prep it'd work though
