It's a Monday in March, and that means Twitter users are likely "hungover" and "late to work." At least that's what the data tells us.

Twitter compiled data published Monday that looks at when users tweet certain words and phrases like "feel happy," "feel sad," "hungover," and "late to work." The data, which is broken down by month and day of the week, looked at tweets in English from 2013 to get a feel for what users are feeling, and when.

Some of the results were predictable. Users tweet "late for work" with more regularity during summer weekdays. Users tweet "feeling sad" in December more than any other month, possibly a cause of gloomy weather or being away from family for the holidays.

There are other factors that may impact tweets, of course. For example, Tuesdays in December are a common day for Twitter users to tweet that they are "feeling happy." Not coincidentally, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve fell on a December Tuesday in 2013.

Here's a look at Twitter's data:
