<p>A poll of 3,000 Britons found that going to bed after a stressful day and waking up the next morning feeling completely refreshed is the greatest pleasure of a person’s life.<br /><br />According to the study, finding a tenner (a 10 pound note) in the pocket is the second greatest pleasure, followed by cuddling up to a loved-one in bed.<br /><br />“You can’t beat the feeling of getting into bed after a long, hard day,” said Rob Stacey, spokesman for Batchelors Cup-a-Soup, the market leader in dried soups in UK, which carried out the poll.<br /><br />“And that feeling gets even better when you wake up feeling great and back to your normal self the following morning.<br /><br />“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.<br /><br />“Often the little gestures such as a quick cuddle or a compliment can really help to cheer someone up if they are having a bad day, and can even be more welcome than splashing out on expensive presents.”<br /><br />Getting into a bed with freshly-washed sheets was voted into sixth place in the list of life’s greatest pleasures, followed by finding a bargain in the shops, The Telegraph reported.<br /><br />Making someone smile was at number eight, while catching up with an old friend was ninth and laughing at past memories came tenth in the survey.<br /><br />To visit your home and have a Sunday dinner prepared by your mother, someone saying you look nice and curling up with a good book and a hot drink are the next three greatest pleasures, according to the survey.<br /><br />Getting a surprise breakfast in bed came fifteenth, followed by waking up thinking it’s a work day and realising it’s the weekend.A stranger smiling at you in the street, looking through old photo albums, eating a takeaway and having fun in the first snowfall of the year comprise the top 20 things a person wants to feel always.<br /><br />Other little pleasures to feature in the poll included the sound of a baby laughing, fitting into a pair old of jeans after losing some weight and watching a live band. Cup-a-Soup spokesman Rob Stacey said: “People have been telling us what brightens up their day, and its often the smaller things that can make a big difference.<br /><br /></p>
