Jawbone recently analyzed data from hundreds of thousands of people who use its UP app and one finding stood out: People seem to be less happy when they're at work.

The UP activity tracker comes with an app that allows users to track their mood by indicating when they're feeling "amazing," "totally done," or somewhere in between. The data was collected over the past year.

In general, people tend to be happier on weekends, presumably when they're not at the office. But that happiness bottoms out at 11 p.m. on Sunday.
