Although we had a long Lunar New Year holiday, many people often complain of fatigue and lethargy. This is because overeating, oversleeping, and irregular life break the circadian rhythm, making it difficult to return to daily life.

To overcome holiday syndrome, it is important to restore circadian rhythm through regular life. If possible, it is effective to have a buffer period for recovery.

Cho Chul-hyun, a professor of psychiatry at Korea University's Anam Hospital, said "It is a natural phenomenon to feel tired after the holidays", and "The key is to restore the body step by step in the direction of restoring the circadian rhythm through regular life patterns".




It is necessary to adjust the sleeping time and waking time as usual, avoid late-night snacks, and stabilize the sleeping environment. It is also helpful to get some time in the sun in the morning. It is also beneficial to maintain daily sleep and eating habits on the last day of the holiday. In addition, it is important to increase physical activity through light exercise or walking, and to restore the balance of the body through sufficient water intake and nutritional supplementation.

Professor Cho Cheol-hyun said, `There are people who try to sleep too much to relieve their fatigue after the holidays, but this can have a greater adverse effect"If possible during the holidays, maintaining a regular sleep-arousal pattern is important to prevent and overcome holiday syndrome " he stressed.

If fatigue and lethargy persist for more than two weeks, this may be a sign of other conditions. Professor Cho warned that "If rest is not appropriate or biorhythmic disturbances persist, it can lead to insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, etc."
