For many people, festivals and holidays are more troublemaker than happy occasions, more curse than blessing. People often complain about a feeling of nervousness at the end of a lengthy holiday. They say they’re too disturbed to do anything. They stay home alone and listen to the click of the clock as if waiting for their doomsday. Many office workers suffer from similar symptoms: they can’t concentrate, fight to keep their eyes open, feel generally exhausted, and are not in the mood to work. This is typical holiday syndrome. In fact, too many dinner parties, visiting relatives and friends so often, the irregular way of life and numerous debts of gratitude may all lead to the holiday syndrome. It’s not some disease, but results from being too relaxed during the past holiday week, then experiencing a shock to the system when returning to work to face new and challenging tasks. It can potentially be damaging one’s health. So don't hesitate to battle against it.
To avoid holiday syndrome, it is suggested people try to keep the pace themselves during the holiday, get enough rest and may listen to some light music to regulate their mood on their own before they set to work.
