View Photos Monday is unanimously voted the worst day of the week. Call it Monday morning blues or a the burden of going back to work, we are at our lazy best on Mondays. It makes it a question worth thinking about, is our aversion towards Mondays purely psychological or is there a more psychosomatic cause of this fatigue that suddenly occurs at the beginning of the week.
Only if we know the exact causes can we overcome our laziness. Thus here are some of main reasons why we feel lazy on Mondays.
Why We Feel Lazy On Mondays & How To Overcome It?
1. The main issue is our lifestyle changes that turns from super busy during the week to super lazy in the weekends. An average person who rises at 6, remain active all day and then goes to bed at 10 is suddenly sleeping till 10 in the morning and going to bed at 12 at night!
2. This disruption disturbs the body clock. Your body is tuned to a biological clock that gives it reminders of what to do. So if you don't listen to your body clock for 2 days it refuses to obey you on Monday and thus the Monday morning blues.
3. Have you ever woken up with splitting headache on on Monday? It is because you have overslept. You never feel sluggishly sleepy when you are running around all week but in the weekends, the more you sleep, the more you feel sleepy. Sometimes you can feel lazy on Monday's due to too much sleep.
4. You have to make a small lifestyle change and remain active during the weekend. Wake up an hour late and do some exercise that you miss doing during the week. You can definitely have your filling of weekend's rest but spread it out. Sleep 8 hours at night and take a longish siesta in the afternoon.
5. Sometimes when we travel on weekends, too much activity can also be a cause of fatigue. These rushed weekend trips where you start Friday night and return Sunday night are really draining on your energy reserves. You need to rest enough in the weekend to refill your energy reserves that will keep you going during the week.
6. Sometimes the pure psychological pressure of deadlines or Monday meetings is enough to make you have Monday morning blues. The cause of fatigue here is mental saturation. You have worked all weekend and simply can't get through another week of work.
7. The best thing to do is not attack your work right on Friday. Go out to unwind on Friday and work on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For that you will have to cut down on your party time on Saturday; enjoy responsibly, that is the mantra to success. You will cope better and overcome laziness on Monday.
