The average Brit needs an extra three hours a day to get everything done, new research has revealed.

A study of 2,000 people has found 54 per cent wish there was more time in the day, with almost one in ten saying they can’t remember the last time they had an evening night to spare.

Eighty-nine per cent of Brits admit they feel that life is too serious for them and three quarters wish they had more time to relax and be more laid-back.

And if you don’t think this is you, it might be time to check again.

Eating dinner late at night and buying ready-peeled vegetables were among the top signs you are too busy.

Ordering takeaways because you don’t have time to cook was the biggest indicator you need more hours in the day, and eating breakfast on the commute, multitasking while watching TV by sending emails or shopping online and still doing laundry late into the night also among the top five signs you are short of time.

Psychologist and life coach Honey Langcaster-James said, “This study shows that feeling stressed out all the time, as a result of a growing sense of ‘time poverty’, is becoming a real problem for people.
