How often did you genuinely laugh today? This simple tracker scales your daily count up to weekly and yearly figures, giving a lighthearted way to notice patterns in your day-to-day mood.
Weekly Laughs = Daily Laughs x 7
Annual Laughs = Daily Laughs x 365
Example
10 laughs today:
Weekly = 70, Annual = 3,650 (within the commonly cited typical adult range)
What Research Suggests
Some psychology research has suggested adults laugh on average somewhere around a dozen or more times per day, though estimates vary widely across studies and depend heavily on social context, mood, and exactly how "laughter" gets defined and self-reported in each study. Laughter has been linked in wellbeing research to reduced stress hormone levels and improved mood in the moment.
A Simple Wellbeing Signal
Frequency of laughter is a simple, low-effort daily signal worth tracking informally over time - a noticeable dip in your usual laughter count over several days can sometimes be an early, gentle nudge to check in on your overall mood and stress levels.
