Scientists notice that it looks really good in the morning | Mental health

A nightmare day at work? Does a date make you? Don't worry, it looks really good in the morning.

In this kind of most comprehensive research, scientists generally find that when you wake up, the world feels brighter.

People start a day with the best mind framework in the morning, but ends in the worst, and in the middle of the night, the survey suggests that it plays a role in the day and season.

According to a survey led by the University of London, mental health tends to be more diverse on weekends, but tends to be stable on weekdays.

“Generally, things seem better in the morning,” concluded. Their survey results have been released Journal BMJ Mental Health.

Mental health and health are essentially dynamic and can change for a short and long -term. However, there are few studies that have examined how they change in the day, and have a specific or very small group of people.

Scientists wanted to find out if the time was mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, and life sense, and whether it was related to the fluctuation of loneliness. They also wanted to know if these associations were different depending on the day, season, or year.

They analyzed the data UCL COVID-19 Social ResearchIt began in March 2020, performed regular monitoring until November 2021, and performed additional monitoring until March 2022.

This included about 1 million survey answers from about 50,000 adults in two years.

The people in the survey answered the questionnaire. “How happy did you feel last week?”, “How much are you satisfied with your life?”, “How much do you feel? What you do in your life? Is it worth?

Factors, such as age, health, and whether people worked, were considered.

The results showed that happiness was all higher on Monday and Friday than on Sundays, and on Tuesdays on Tuesday. There was no evidence that loneliness was different on the day of the week.

There was a clear evidence of a seasonal effect on mood. Compared to winter, people tended to have a low level of depression and anxiety and the level of loneliness, and felt that life was worthwhile, happiness, satisfaction of life, and other three seasons.

Mental health was the best in summer with all results. However, the season did not affect the association observed all day.

This is an observation study and cannot be established. Researchers said that they could have affected the survey when they chose to fill the questionnaire, adding information that information could not be used for sleep cycles, latitude, and weather.

However, they suggested that the change in mental health and happiness in the day could be explained by physiological changes associated with a physical clock.

“For example, cortisol [a hormone that regulates mood, motivation and fear] Shortly after waking up, the peak will soon reach the lowest level at bedtime, “they said.

However, they stated that the differences between weekdays and weekends could be promoted by a series of daily activities, which are likely to be different between weekends and weekdays.

Dr. Feifei Bu, a UCL behavioral science and a health bureau, states:

“We have used a large -scale sample of repeated data. In two years, about 1 million survey answers from 49,000 participants.

“But this pattern may be reflected when people choose to respond to the investigation, not direct effects of the time, for example, those who are already feeling better in the morning. At the time, you may be involved in the survey.

“These discoveries are interesting, but it is necessary to reproduce this potential bias completely in other research.

“If it is verified, this may have an important practical meaning. Researchers who investigate people's mental health and happiness should take into account the time of people reacting.

“Mental health support services may consider adjusting resources according to the fluctuations that fluctuate throughout the day. For example, the priority of midnight availability.”
