Relaxation, which involves proper exercises, resetting the body's biological clock to the regular work schedule and lowering expectations over the first few days after a holiday, may help people handle post-holiday stress, according to doctors.
If you feel tired, lazy or can't concentrate at work after a long holiday, you may well be afflicted by the post-holiday syndrome, a psychological and physical disorder which occurs after long holidays.
"People are too busy to feel the 'blues' during the holiday season. But when all the fun is over, some of them can't adjust themselves to a quick work tempo," said Professor Liu Tiebang with Shenzhen Kangning Hospital. "They will easily get tired and dozy or even have a headache or poor appetite."
People are advised to relax both mentally and physically in the first one or two weeks after a long holiday like the Spring Festival. They are recommended to go to bed and get up at the same time every day to reset the circadian clock in one's body and ensure a sound sleep as well.
