🧠 These patterns matter:

• Should services adapt services to provide support when most needed?
• Could timing light therapy or crisis care boost impact?

☀️ Depression and anxiety were lowest in the morning, rising through the day.

😊 Happiness peaked early, dropped midday, rebounded a bit – then crashed by midnight.

😐 Loneliness barely changed – it stayed steady across the day.

🕰️ Do things really feel better in the morning?

A UK study analysed 1 million mood reports from 49,000 people across 2 years and found a clear pattern.

Mental health peaks in the morning and dips late at night.
