Stressed Workers May Not Benefit from Vacations

A survey of more than 1,500 working Americans found that many people are unable to relax and enjoy their time away from the office. More specifically, when participants returned to work after time off, 68% said they were in a better mood; 66% were energized, and 27% reported feeling motivated and less stressed. Unfortunately, 40% said these feelings were gone within days and 21% never seemed to relax, saying they felt tense or stressed while on vacation. American Psychological Association, June 2018
