In the morning, it feels better, proves a British study

When In the evening, crying and distressing, it has been comfortable to say that in the morning it feels better.

It is really true, says A study published in BMJ Mental Health.

The study revealed that mental well -being was in the best of the morning. The miserable feels at midnight.

The difference between morning and night is even greater than everyday.

The study included 49,000 adult British, who responded to repeated surveys for two years since March 2020, during the corona pandemic.

Participants They asked how happy they have felt themselves in the last week, how satisfied they have been in their lives, and how meaningful their own hustle and bustle were.

The surveys also mapped loneliness and symptoms of depression and anxiety.

The mental well -being measured in this way varied according to the day, but also to the day of the week.

Happiness, satisfaction and meaning were greater on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays.

Depression symptoms were most reported on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Instead, the feelings of loneliness did not change over the week. Even within 24 hours, they varied less than other mental well -being meters.

Season The effect also turned out to be great. Mental well -being was the best in all meters in the summer and the worst in winter.

Summer and winter welfare differences are also reported by health care registers. The reason has been suggested, among other things, summer weather, summer holidays and the increase in light hours.

Still, the difference between the morning and the evening does not disappear in the summer, British researchers report.

Mood For example, the daily variation is explained by the fact that the production of cortisol and other hormones varies within 24 hours.

The authors of the study point out that physiological rhythms are not known to change according to the day of the week. So they cannot explain why the difference between the morning and the evening is even greater on weekends. Well -being spikes especially on weekend mornings.

The hope of the morning can also be influenced by the encounters and tasks ahead. On weekends, there is often a different stay and doing things like everyday.
