Zamanımızın yarısını düş kurarak harcıyoruz — We Spend Half Our Time Daydreaming

1. New research from America's Harvard University shows people spend nearly half of their waking --- daydreaming, and not thinking about what they are --- doing. Moreover, they say this mind wandering is a --- of unhappiness. The study, to be published in the journal 'Science,' surveyed the thoughts and --- of over 2,200 volunteers. The participants downloaded an iPhone app and sent more than 250,000 messages ---the day and night. Researchers Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert conclude that most of us are in --- world for more than 46 per cent of our --- hours, and that means we are unhappy: "A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an --- mind,' they said.

2. Dr Killingsworth said "mind-wandering' was "ubiquitous --- all activities' in our daily lives. His study found that we are happiest --- exercising, chatting with friends or making love and --- happy when working or using our computer at home. He added: "Mind-wandering is an --- predictor of people's happiness,' and that "our mental lives are [filled], to a remarkable ---, by the non- --- '. Professor Gilbert believes daydreaming is one of the things that make us human. He said: "Unlike other animals, human beings --- a lot of time thinking about what is not going on around them, contemplating --- that happened in the past, might happen in the future or will never happen at all.'
