HOLIDAY VACATION RESULTS IN ‘SOCIAL JET LAG’

Scientists say that taking the whole Christmas and new year period off work could leave you with a type of jet lag when you return — a feeling dubbed “social jet lag.”

They claim the extra-long break interrupts our body clocks and leaves them with symptoms similar to having travelled to a different time zone. On top of that, negative emotions associated with the holiday season being over and two weeks of irregular sleeping patterns could lead workers to feel tired and lacklustre.

Other symptoms include indigestion, loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, clumsiness, feeling generally unwell, lack of energy, fatigue and irritability.
