Spending time by yourself every day is important in relieving stress. Everybody needs their own space.
The two most stressful times I find are when you first go into work and when you first come home. The moment I wake up I am thinking about the day ahead and I do not want to be disturbed by domestic routine.
The most I can deal with other than my plans for the day is the Today programme on Radio 4. I like to get to the consulting rooms early, before the telephone starts ringing, so that I can ease myself into the day.
And when I come home in the evening I need to ease myself back into home life. I like a little time to myself to take out the paper, turn on the television and have a glass of claret - or two. If I am going to have wine with dinner I have a glass of malt whisky with water to help me unwind.
Once I have settled into my home background, I am ready to talk to children, grandchildren, hear how the guttering has fallen down, the car would not start and all the other things of everyday life.
