With the decline of the extended family support system and the reduced availability and affordability of domestic help, youngsters are struggling hard to keep their heads above the grimy water of daily chores. Recent researchers have found that one out of every ten people suffers from tired all the time (TATT) syndrome and the percentage of women affected by this syndrome are more than men because they have to do multi-tasking which leaves them feeling tired all the time.
