Scientists have discovered what time of day and what day of the week people are the happiest

British Scientists Reveal the Secret of Human Happiness

A group of researchers from the prestigious University College London (UCL) has completed an unprecedented large-scale study of people's psychological states. Nearly 50,000 volunteers participated in the project, providing over a million responses for analysis.

Morning Optimism vs Midnight Melancholy
The study revealed a surprising pattern: the peak of emotional uplift occurs in the morning hours when the human body is filled with energy after night rest. At the same time, midnight becomes a kind of "point of no return" for good mood.

An interesting historical fact: the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates claimed that morning hours are most favorable for the human body, which is now confirmed by modern science.

Unexpected Discoveries
Contrary to the common belief about "blue Monday," the study found that the beginning of the week, along with Friday, is characterized by the highest levels of life satisfaction. Sunday, traditionally considered a day of rest, showed the lowest mood indicators.

The study gains special scientific value due to its unique methodology based on analyzing participants' real emotional states rather than their subjective preferences. Notably, the study also recorded an overall increase in happiness levels from 2020 to 2022, which may indicate society's gradual recovery after the pandemic.
