Nearly nine out of ten Britons wake up in a bad mood, but a sunny day and breakfast in bed can lift the blues, a new survey shows.
Three in ten blamed their bad moods on oversleeping, 25% their trip to work, 17% missing the bus or train, 17% thinking about work and 15% running out of milk or toast. The survey said families with children were more likely to find mornings stressful, with women bearing the brunt of the strain.
Most likely to lift the spirits of Britons is the weather, with 29% of those interviewed saying a nice day would cheer them up. A quarter said they felt better after listening to a favourite CD or radio station and 23% after having a cup of tea or breakfast in bed.
