Monday. Named after the Moon (from the Old English "Monandaeg," meaning "Moon's day"), it is statistically the most dreaded day of the week. Studies show that people rate their mood lowest on Monday mornings, heart attacks peak on Mondays (a 20% increase over the weekly average), and Google searches for "I hate my job" spike every Monday at 9 AM. On the other hand, Monday is also the most popular day for starting diets, gym memberships, and new habits. It is the day of fresh starts, whether you want one or not.
Note: Our countdown uses your browser's timezone to calculate exactly when Monday starts where you are.
The Monday effect
Psychologists call it the "Monday Blues" and it is measurable. Cortisol (stress hormone) levels are highest on Monday mornings. Stock markets historically perform worst on Mondays (the "Monday effect"). Workers are least productive in the first hour of Monday. But here is the flip side: Monday is when most successful product launches happen, when most job applications are submitted, and when most people sign up for online courses. Monday is the day people decide to change things.
