Sleeping in a freshly made bed is the thing most likely to make people feel great, according to new research.

一项新的研究表明,睡在新铺好的床上最容易让人感觉美好。
 
Changing the bed sheets may feel like a chore to some, but the feeling of sleeping in a freshly made bed has topped a list of the 50 things that make us feel good, with nearly two-thirds (62 per cent) saying it is their favourite feel great moment. 
 
The feeling of the sun on our face came second on the list (57 per cent) with people saying 'thank you' or a random act of kindness from a stranger completing the top three. 
 
The survey of 2,000 people was conmissioned by Bupa to launch its Feel Great Britain campaign. Strictly come Dancing host Tess Daly is fronting the drive to encourage people to enjoy plenty of feel great moments to improve their overall health and well-being
 
Finding a bargain in the sales (41 per cent) and a cup of tea (39 per cent) were also among the favourite feel great moments.
 
The top 50 also contained a number of more bizarre feel great moments including rainbows (23 per cent), popping bubble wrap (20 per cent), dancing like no-one is watching (19 per cent), new stationary (11 per cent), the 'pop' when you open a new jam jar (nine per cent) and cleaning wax from your ears (eight per cent).
