London - If you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning, then try to find comfort in the fact that you’re not alone.

Monday is officially the most miserable day of the week, a survey has found.

It may not be the first time such a suggestion has been made, but this time there is support for the theory.

More than half of us will spend the day complaining, particularly in the morning.

The average respondent in the survey spent 34 minutes moaning on a Monday morning, compared to just 22 minutes during the rest of the week.

One in three people said they hated Monday more than any other day of the week.

Some of the most common reasons include dreading the working week ahead, over-indulging over the weekend or having a mountain of emails to catch up with.

Other explanations in the top ten of Monday moans include feeling tired and taking a while to get back into “work mode”.

A spokesman for the prostate medication Flomax Relief, which conducted the poll of 2,000 adults, said: ?While people continue to grumble about aches and pains, heavy workloads and tiredness the rest of the week, Mondays tend to be when people suffer most.”
