And tiredness seems to equal forgetfulness, with many struggling to remember why they walked into a room or even what day it is.
Other mistakes in the top 30 list were missing appointments, putting cereal in the fridge and bunging milk in the cupboard.
Leaving your car keys in the car ranked high also.

The research found 2:32pm is the time of day the most mistakes are likely to be made while 10:18am is when people feel most alert.

The study of 2,000 British adults by OnePoll was commissioned by Lucozade Alert.
Zoe Trimble, spokesperson for Lucozade Alert, said: “When we’re tired, we’ve all forgotten why we’ve walked into rooms, where we’ve placed our keys, or thought of the perfect comeback way too late. The brain fog is real.”
