Want to make someone's day? It may be as simple as playing them their favorite song, or pointing out a newly blossoming tree to them.

2,000 Americans revealed in a poll that their top simple pleasure is hearing music they love. Seeing flowers bloom also made it into the nation's top ten simple joys.

Others pleasures include sleeping in a freshly made bed, the feeling of the sun on your face, and going to the beach. Being somewhere new, watching a cherished movie, and seeing stunning views all feature too.

Those surveyed enjoy an average of eight moments of simple pleasure each week, about one a day. The satisfaction of a moment's pleasure can last for upwards of 20 minutes on average, although 11 percent get a glow for up to an hour.

The research was commissioned by Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which also commissioned poet Laurie Bolger to come up with a piece on life's simple pleasures.

The wordsmith said: "I wanted my poem to remind people about the feeling you get when you are able to enjoy life's simple pleasures."

"But on the other hand, I also wanted to highlight that the reason some of these things are so enjoyable is because they are a break from the norm." Bolger added. "Feeling the sun on my face is definitely one of my favorite simple pleasures in life, and I'm glad the survey reflected that, and that we're starting to see brighter weather too."
