BRITS feel true happiness 432 times a year on average, a survey found.
Top triggers include cuddling a partner, box-set nights with the family and soaking in the bath with a glass of wine.
Sixty per cent of the 1,500 adults polled by Butterkist claimed they are happy with their lot.
With most Brits saying they feel a 'true wave of happiness' eight times in an average week.
The poll found that Brits were quite content with music whether its at a festival with friends or an old-fashioned sing-a-long in the car.
And most said they felt most content at age 41.
Typical adults feel a “wave of happiness” eight times a week, the poll found.
Happiness expert Andy Cope said: “Brits are fairly happy with life.
Eight out of ten said that they preferred a night in with home comforts and their loved ones than a rowdy night out.

“But happiness peaks when we spend quality time with those we love.”
Anjna Mistry for Butterkist said: "Togetherness and sharing happy moments with those we love is what has made humans connect with each other for centuries, and it's still the case in today's digital enabled generation.
"Sharing time together can be as simple as arranging a special evening at home with your partner, family or friends, watching a movie or something special on TV with a big bowl of popcorn.
"A little extra effort makes these moments even more special"
