Every working person experiences headaches, weakness, or intense fatigue during the first hours of their day off, or even throughout the day. Scientists have explained the root cause. Here are the details...
Experts call this condition, which occurs when a person transitions from a busy work schedule to a relaxing time, "leisure illness." This concept was first identified by Dutch psychologist Dr. Ad Vingerhoets in 2002 and is explained by a sudden feeling of unease during weekends or long holidays.
THE BODY CAN REMAIN DEFENSIVE
Experts have explained that increased stress and fatigue before the holidays can cause fluctuations in the immune system. While adrenaline and cortisol released during stress can temporarily protect the body, once the stress subsides, immune defenses weaken. This can leave a person vulnerable to viruses and infections.

WEEKEND MIGRAINE AND CHRONIC STRESS
Experts note that a similar condition known as "weekend migraine" can be observed in migraine sufferers. It's been reported that sudden changes in hormone levels following the end of a stressful period trigger migraine attacks. It's also been emphasized that chronic stress suppresses the immune system, and that early symptoms can go unnoticed during a busy work schedule, with symptoms only appearing once the person rests.
Lifestyle changes are effective
Disrupting sleep patterns, skipping meals, or eating an unhealthy diet during the busy pre-holiday period also weakens the immune system. Jet lag, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and exposure to new microbes in crowded environments during travel also increase the risk.
EXPERT TIPS FOR PREVENTING DISEASE
Implementing small, even small, stress-reducing techniques in your daily life (breathing exercises, relaxation techniques).
Prioritizing sleep, nutrition, and exercise before your vacation.
Washing your hands frequently and keeping your distance from sick people.
Drinking plenty of fluids while traveling.
Maintaining a consistent routine while on vacation and avoiding drastic changes to your sleep and diet.
