When you wake up on the first day of your holiday, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast and then take a walk in the park. You surely feel happy and relaxed. But by the late afternoon, you might start to feel bored! If this happens to you, don't worry. You're not the only one. Having too much free time isn't always great. So, how much free time is the best for our happiness?
Researchers(研究者) wanted to find the answer. They surveyed thousands of people. They wrote down how people spent their time and how happy they were. After studying all the information, the researchers found that less than two hours of free time a day isn't enough to make people happy. People with less than two hours of free time usually feel stressed(有压力的). That's because they are too busy working to enjoy themselves.
It's true that being too busy makes people less happy. Some might think that more free time is better. But here's a surprise: Having a lot of free time doesn't always make us happy. People feel good when they finish things. But if they have more than five hours of free time a day, they can't get this happy feeling. So, ★
In fact, what really matters is how we spend our free time. If we do active(积极的) things like playing team sports, five or more hours of free time a day can keep us happy or even make us happier. But if we just sit in our room watching TV, playing video games by ourselves, or doing nothing interesting for five or more hours, we certainly won't feel happy.
