If you’re the type of person who struggles to get out of bed in the mornings, then this may come as a huge shock.

When over a billion Tweets were analysed, it was found that people are generally happiest first thing in the morning and as the day progresses, they get cranky.

One of the researchers who looked at the Twitter accounts of people from all over the world, said: “We found people are happiest around breakfast time in the morning and then it’s all downhill from there.”

They think it may have something to do with the fact that we feel refreshed after waking up so this puts us in a good mood – for the morning anyways.

However, there is a spike of happiness later on in the evening, which, believe it or not, has nothing to do with no longer being in work.

Perhaps it’s time we embrace our inner morning bird!
