According to a new survey, apparently there is. And the exact time is 8:36 a.m. That’s when the average American knows if they’re in for a “bad day.” The survey found that the average person has four bad days a month – that’s 48 bad days a year. 26% of respondents went so far as to say that when something goes bad in the morning, the day is completely lost. 48% admitted to canceling plans or calling in sick to work when they wake up with a feeling that the day will be challenging.
For parents, back-to-school time presents extra challenges. 55% of the parents of school-aged kids surveyed said their kids are more prone to bad days when the new school year starts as they readjust to the schedule. 51% of parents also said they experience an increase in bad days when kids go back to school, with 56% saying their child’s bad day often leads to their own.
