Mornings with Dave & Jen

What would be your “perfect day”?

If you had a totally free day to do whatever you wanted (!), how would you spend it?

A new poll looked at what America’s “perfect day” would look like and according to SWNS it would include:

  • 6 hours and 54 minutes of sleep
  • 2 hours of eating
  • 3 hours of family time
  • 1 hour and 24 minutes hanging out with friends
  • 1 hour and 6 minutes hanging with pets
  • 3 hours and 6 minutes watching TV
  • 1 hour and 24 minutes spent on hobbies
  • 1 hour 30 minutes messing around on our phone
  • 48 minutes of exercise
  • 48 minutes spent shopping
  • A 42-minute nap (on top of the seven hours of sleep you got)
  • And 1 hour and 18 minutes spent listening to music

We hope to have 16 perfect days this year…about one every three weeks or so.

Haven’t had one yet? Plenty of time left!
