A study from University College London found that people feel worse as the day goes on. The worst feelings happen at midnight and on Sundays. People start their day feeling good, but feel less happy by nighttime. On weekends, feelings change more compared to weekdays.

The study looked at answers from 50,000 adults over two years. They asked about happiness, life satisfaction, and feeling worthy. People felt happiest on Mondays and Fridays. Feeling lonely didn’t change much during the week.

The study can't say exactly why these feelings change. It might be because of changes in the body, like hormone levels. What people do on weekdays and weekends might also affect how they feel. The researchers think more studies are needed to understand this better and help improve mental health support.
