A study has found that British people spend over THREE HOURS every week in a daydream - and the list of most popular daydreams will NOT surprise you.

The research, commissioned by Casumo.com, found that despite having hectic working lives, we still zone out for around 10 minutes every day at work.

Well, we can't deny it can we?!

Apparently, we even daydream when we're back in our homes, spending on average 13 minutes every day.

One in five people said that they daydream because they're bored, and another one in five said that the last hour of the day at work is when they're most likely to let their minds wander.
