Just finished the Spring Festival holiday, have you successfully returned to your daily work state, or have you had a lack of energy, insomnia and other manifestations of "post-holiday syndrome"?
Recently, local health commissions, disease control and hospitals, and hospitals have successively released a lot of popular science information about post-holiday syndrome. We have sorted out this and hope to help you "resurrect with full blood" scientifically and efficiently.
Focus 1: With these manifestations, you may have "post-holiday syndrome".
The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that the so-called "post-holiday syndrome" is generally a psychological and physical manifestation within a period of time after a longer holiday.
Psychologically, there may be feelings of loss, anxiety, depression, irritability, etc., easy to feel tired, easy to insomnia, and inefficient in study and work. Physiologically, unexplained nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other manifestations may occur.
The "post-holiday syndrome" occurs because during the holidays, the fixed rhythm and regularity of life, work, and study have been broken. When the holiday season is over and people have to re-establish this rhythm, there may be a "chaotic period" that is not adaptable.
Focus 2: Post-segmentation syndrome ≠ burnout.
Wang Cong, the attending physician of Beijing Anding Hospital, said that many people will confuse post-holiday syndrome with burnout, but there is a clear difference between the two.
Burnout was proposed as early as 1974 by the American clinical psychologist Freudenberger, mostly due to a long-term trapped in an overly stressful work environment, resulting in emotional, attitude and behavioral exhaustion, which is generally considered to be a reaction to the individual's inability to cope with work smoothly, which lasts for a long time and will have an adverse impact on people's work and life.
Post-holiday syndrome may occur after a long holiday, is short-lived, and usually resolves after self-regulation. However, we should be vigilant against the chronicity of "post-holiday syndrome" to prevent it from evolving into a trigger for burnout, or even prolonging it.
Focus 3Don't want to work? Take it slowly.
Wang Cong said that it is normal to feel unable to lift your spirits two or three days after the holiday, and your work efficiency will become low, and you may not even want to go to work. Most people are able to return to their normal lives after a few days of self-regulation.
A few days before work, you can give priority to some routine and less difficult things as a buffer adjustment, and gradually find the work status.
Some office workers with serious conditions will have fear of work, and some have difficulty falling asleep due to anxiety, so they can do breathing relaxation training, breathe slowly and deeply, focus on breathing, and drive away tension and disturbed thoughts. You can also communicate with friends and colleagues to release the "excess energy" of the holiday, find inspiration from other people's stories and your own experiences, move forward better with each other's emotional support, and consciously take the initiative to self-regulate.
Focus 4: Adjust your daily routine in a timely manner.
Zhang Chen, chief physician of the Shanghai Mental Health Center, said that many people stay up late on holidays, and their biological clocks are completely disrupted. After the holiday, you should adjust your work and rest in time, do not play with your mobile phone in bed, fall asleep before 11 o'clock as much as possible, set an alarm clock, go to bed early and get up early.
The post-holiday diet can appropriately reduce the intake of meat, eat less greasy and spicy food to stimulate the stomach and intestines, and eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.
Proper exercise not only helps to increase productivity, but also relieves fatigue caused by "post-holiday syndrome". Through regular exercise, you can promote blood circulation, strengthen the body's resistance, release stress, improve concentration and mood, and also help improve sleep quality.
If symptoms persist, you should seek help from a medical professional.
