Ask someone who goes to school from Monday to Friday for the worst day of their week and many people will say Monday. On Mondays the fun of the weekend has just finished and the week has just begun. ¹ G (Everyone is back at school, or work, and the next weekend is in five days' time.)

However, two maths professors in the USA have just completed research that tells us more about the worst day of our week. Peter Dodds and Christopher Danforth analysed 10 million sentences on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. ² D (All of these included the phrase 'I feel' or 'I'm feeling'.) Then, the professors came up with a system of scores for words, between 1 and 9. They gave positive words like 'hopeful' and 'relaxed' high scores. Negative words, like 'stressed' and 'exhausted', got low scores. ³ C (Finally, they used these numbers to decide how happy people were on each day.)

Their results could change your life – or at least your week! According to the professors, Sunday is the happiest day of the week. ⁴ A (On that day, people think and write about the fun things they did the day before – on Saturday.) Monday is actually the second happiest day of the week. People haven't forgotten about their weekends yet. And the worst day of the week for most people is ... Wednesday! ⁵ H (There is just one more day before the weekend.) As a result, their memory of the previous weekend has gone, and there are two more days before the next one.

The research found another surprising fact: people between 45 and 60 are the happiest people online, but the most miserable group is... teenagers!
