A good night's sleep is greatest little pleasure
Getting a good night's sleep has been named as life's 'greatest little pleasure'.
A survey of over 3,000 Brits found that waking up feeling completely refreshed was the 'little pleasure' which brought people most joy.
Finding a £10 note in your pocket came second, followed by cuddling up to a loved-one in bed. Laughing so hard you end up crying was at number four while having a lie-in was fifth.
Other popular little things included getting a bargain, catching up with an old friend and making someone else smile.
In odd news, being stopped by some in the street and asked to answer some inane survey questions did not make it into the top 10.
Rob Stacey spokesman for Batchelors Cup-a-Soup, which carried out the poll, said: "You can't beat the feeling of getting into bed after a long, hard day.
"And that feeling gets even better when you wake up feeling great and back to your normal self the following morning.
"We don't always need something major to happen to brighten up our day - sometimes the little things have just as much of an effect."
