Sunday syndrome is a psychological condition. Understand the details and learn how to avoid it!

Sunday syndrome , also known as "Sunday blues" or "pre-Monday syndrome", is a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/sunshine-guilt-the-uneasiness-of-having-to-stay-home-on-a-beautiful-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">psychological condition</a> characterized by a feeling of anxiety, sadness, or melancholy that some people experience at the end of the weekend, usually on Sunday afternoon or evening.
According to several surveys, Sunday is the unhappiest day of the week and Saturday is one of the best days.
This feeling can be caused by the anticipation of responsibilities and stresses of the week ahead, by the contrast between the leisure time of the weekend and the return to the routine of work or study, or even by <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/loneliness-at-work-ways-to-avoid-burnout-work-stress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loneliness</a> and lack of social activities during this period.

Main reasons for triggering Sunday Syndrome.

- Excessive alcohol and drug consumption can lead to a drop in mood and increased anxiety the next day. - Social overload during the weekend, especially for those who work intensively during the week or who see the weekend as their main time for socializing, can contribute significantly to this condition. - Spending hours in front of screens, such as computers, tablets and cell phones, can contribute to the emergence of Sunday syndrome. - Anxiety about returning to work and pending professional issues from Friday can also trigger this syndrome. - Working on weekends is not a viable solution and can even worsen mental health problems.

How to avoid Sunday Syndrome?

- Some strategies for dealing with Sunday blues include planning enjoyable activities for Sunday evening, practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing, and maintaining a positive mindset about the week ahead. - One of the main reasons for work-related Sunday anxiety is the fear of the upcoming work week. However, scheduling events that you look forward to during the week can help balance these negative emotions and promote a more positive outlook on the future. - It is essential to highlight that any intense anguish and anxiety must be treated by health professionals, such as psychiatrists, and accompanied by therapy with psychologists.
