Unhappy Tuesday

The unhappiest day of the week is Tuesday. That's the word from British researchers, who studied the mood swings of 22,000 people over a two-month period and concluded that people are at their lowest point emotionally on Tuesdays. Conventional wisdom has long held that Monday is the unhappiest day of the week, but this study, which tried to establish a link between people's feelings and their immediate environment, including pollution, noise, weather conditions and green space, turns that belief upside-down. It appears that the good effects of the weekend have not yet worn off by Monday; however, by Tuesday, the working week is in full swing and the coming weekend is still days away -- leading many people to feel a bit blue.
