Monday is really no worse than any other day of the week

Another cultural myth sovremennosti

Monday there is something depressing. For many, this day - the beginning of a long work week; More weekend so far, and the memory of a pleasant, but such a short weekend is haunted. It is believed that every person on Mondays feel especially miserable. But, according to research, we are equally unhappy (or happy), all the days of the week.

This would seem logical - be especially unfortunate is on Mondays. One spent in 2011, the study showed that most people in this day can not even smile to 11:16 am. It was also found that the highest rate of suicide is Monday.

Statistics for the decade indicates that the average number of suicides in the day - 12. By Sunday, their number gradually decreases.

But other studies have shown that "terrible Monday" - this is just one more of the many cultural myths and on the other days of the week, we did not happier. For example, the London School of Economics calls the worst day Tuesday, and the University of Sydney said that it is the environment, because the holiday has long ended and will start again more soon. In addition, the survey found that many people on Monday not to suffer so much, but Friday is not so uplifting, as is commonly thought.



Well, the holidays? Also not so beautiful as everyone says. Over the weekend, often have to do things that can be done during the week, so that in these two days may lie on the shoulders of tremendous severity; in fact, it's the same work, but for her no one pays.

According to the University of Gothenburg, the people on Sundays bad though, because that damn Monday is almost here. It is believed that Sunday - a day of rest, when we do something nice. But in today's world it is becoming less so. By Sunday evening especially sad because it's over.

The most depressing day of the year is considered to be the third Monday in January - the holidays are over, the weather is bad, work hands on deck. But no scientific evidence for this is not. It is not worse (not better) than the other days.

People are equally unhappy every day of the week. In fact, they are not happy at all times. Sorry.
