Go ahead and cancel your plans — your friends probably won't mind, and they may even be waiting and hoping for your call.

New research reveals that there is nothing better than having no plans for the weekend, according to 75 percent of Americans. Even better: 71 percent of people actually look forward to getting that cancellation text allowing them to stay home after hastily making plans.

According to the research, 69 percent of people prefer to stay home on weeknights, while 38 percent enjoy being homebodies on weekends, too.

Interestingly, 80 percent of poll participants agreed they would rather opt to have friends visit their home before heading out on the town.
