Excessive free time negatively affects a person

Free time in large quantities does not benefit a person. The best option is to do nothing – no more than two hours a day.
American researchers from the University of California and Pennsylvania found that excess free time negatively affects a person. In particular, the feeling of his well-being. The corresponding article was published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Scientists analyzed data from two surveys of more than 35 thousand Americans. In which the participants spoke in detail about what they had been doing during the previous day and how it affected them.
It turned out that the state of health improved with the increase in free time, but it was not more than two hours. But after five hours of free time, the state of health, on the contrary, worsened.
Also, two online experiments were carried out, in which over six thousand people took part.
For six months, each participant received from 15 minutes to seven hours of free time.
The experiment showed that people with the minimum and maximum time felt worse.
