At what age do you peak when it comes to fun? Apparently 24 according to a new survey of 2,000 people. That’s mostly because the older you get, the harder it is to take time out of your busy life to have fun (a fifth in survey admitted to this).

But when they do ‘let their hair down’ the top ways of doing so included listening to music, dinning out and having a weekend away. Doing these things helped people to feel happy (56%), refreshed (45%), and free (38%).

Here’s the top 10 ways people ‘let their hair down/let loose:’

  1. Listen to music
  2. Go out for food
  3. Go on a weekend away
  4. Eat comfort food
  5. Celebrate a birthday
  6. Go to a bar
  7. Go on a shopping spree
  8. Play ‘throwback’ music
  9. Sing out loud
  10. Take time off from work

Also featured in the list was:

  • Go to a concert (11)
  • Go for a drive (13)
  • Watch sports (14)
  • Play video games (18)
  • Go camping (26)
  • Avoid going on their phone (28)

52% in the survey agreed adults deserve time off to have fun.
