A 2018 online poll of 2,000 Americans commissioned by the exercise and nutrition app Freeletics sought to learn about events that lead to someone having a "bad day." The poll determined that 67 percent of participants said that not getting enough sleep is the leading catalyst for having a bad day. Other events that lead to a bad day, the poll found, included work-related stress, having a bad hair day, feeling ill, and financial troubles. Participants also estimated that they had an average of 60 bad days a year.
Wake up to a better day:
Health experts have long determined that a lack of sleep can affect memory response, stress hormone levels, appetite, and cognitive functioning, among other deficiencies that can mess up one's day.
The online poll also found that 46 percent of the respondents said they work out two or three times a week, and that exercise helps them decompress from life’s usual daily challenges.
The results of the poll, conducted by the market research firm OnePoll, did not include details about its methodology.
