Stress is an omnipresent fact of life in New York—and it’s getting worse.
In 1999, Nicholas Christenfeld, a psychology professor at the University of California, examined the national rates at which people die of heart attacks. In New York, he noticed, the rates are 55 percent higher than the national average. “It stands out like a red light on the map,” he says.
You get hit much harder than your boss. Sure, the high-priced lawyers and Wall Street boys may feel like they’re getting killed by stress—and sometimes, if they’re not in control of their work flow, they are. But they can compensate with roomy apartments, vacations to the Cayman Islands, and hot-stone massage treatments. Far worse off are people in low-paying, low-status jobs.
There is, however, one type of New York stress that is equal opportunity: the subway. While scientists have long studied the hazards of road rage and driving, only recently have they begun to ponder the window-pounding frustrations of urban commuting.
In the past decade, Richard Wener—an associate professor of environmental psychology at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn—studied commuters taking the path train in from New Jersey. He sampled the cortisol in their saliva, and found that riders who started taking the newly available direct train to midtown had much lower levels than those who transferred in Hoboken to go downtown. The reason? Transferring made for a longer and, crucially, more unpredictable trip. As anyone who’s tried to keep their cool while the train idles mysteriously between stations can tell you, delays can cause nearly psychotic rage. “We’re not talking about a gross change. It’s only a matter of minutes,” Wener says with a laugh. “But that’s enough to change your system.”

Part of what makes commuting annoying is the constant noise: the squealing brakes, the incomprehensibly barking speakers. And noise, all experts agree, makes New York an absolute carnival of stress.
Then there’s crowding: Densely packed city streets can produce feelings of threat, and diminish your sense of control.
