WASHINGTON -- The common saying, "I woke up on the wrong side of the bed," begs a question British researchers sought to answer recently -- and did.
Research shows it is possible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and sides do matter.
A study by Premier Inn, U.K.'s largest chain of hotels, asked 3,000 adults about their sleeping habits. They found those who sleep on the left side of the bed are happier than their right counterparts. It found so-called "lefties" generally to be more cheerful, positive and capable of tackling heavy workloads and stressful days.
More than 25 percent of people who snooze on the left side of the bed feel they have a positive outlook on life in general, compared to 18 percent of right-side sleepers.

ReplyDeleteI wonder how much this absolutely stupid study cost!?! I'm sure it was paid for with some government funding. I know the U.K. is in just as bad shape as we are!
