CLERMONT, Fla. \u2014 Clermont has been named one of the country\u2019s top commuter \u201cburnout belts,\u201d according to a new survey examining where daily drives are most associated with exhaustion and work-life strain. <\/p>\n

The study, commissioned by A Mission for Michael<\/a>, surveyed 3,002 drivers about which commutes create the most stress, factoring in congestion, road construction and time spent traveling to and from work. <\/p>\n

Clermont ranked No. 19 nationally, with researchers pointing to the daily drive into Orlando as a major contributor.<\/p>\n

The study<\/a> said commuters traveling from Clermont into Orlando often lose hours each day to traffic, leaving mornings rushed and evenings shortened. <\/p>\n

Another Florida city, Wesley Chapel, ranked No. 20 for commuters heading into Tampa, while Homestead ranked No. 4 nationally for drives into Miami. <\/p>\n

\u201cBurnout is often framed as something that happens at work, but for many people, it starts and ends with the commute,\u201d Anand Mehta, executive director of A Mission for Michael, said in a statement. <\/p>\n

Researchers said long daily commutes can quietly extend the workday and reduce time available for recovery, family life and rest. <\/p>\n
