Leisure Sickness: Why our health is striking on vacation

Leisure Sickness / Oberberg Clinics provide information about the "leisure disease"

The well -deserved vacation time is finally imminent. The last professional projects have been completed, all preparations are made and the anticipation increases at the beginning of the holiday. But as soon as the vacation has started, the discomfort reports: scratching neck, tiredness or general malaise. Why does your own health let you down at the beginning of the holidays? The Oberberg Group's experts explain what the Leisure Sickness, also known as a leisure disease, is all about.

no illness, but sick

The Leisure Sickness is a psychosomatic phenomenon in which those affected feel uncomfortable as soon as the work -free time begins. Some not only experience this on vacation, but on weekends. Leisure Sickness manifests itself in various symptoms such as headache or sore throat, fatigue, signs of cold or gastrointestinal complaints. This is not a rare phenomenon: According to a YouGov survey, around 20 percent of people are affected. There is no clear explanation for the phenomenon, but it is generally assumed that stress plays an important role. Many people do not recognize when they get too much up before their vacation. All possible tasks still have to be done and the apartment cleaned. However, permanent stress weakens the immune system and susceptible to diseases that may occur at the beginning of the free time.

Leisure Pleasure instead of Leisure Sickness

Even if the symptoms of leisure disease usually disappear after a few days, they are still disturbing. After all, you want to enjoy your vacation every day. It is also annoying if you have only taken a few days and then have to fight with disease symptoms. To avoid the phenomenon of Leisure Sickness, good planning is the best approach. Before the vacation, not all tasks that may have been on the todo list for a long time must be done before vacation. The stress should not increase exponentially towards the start of the vacation. It is generally important that stress loads only occur acutely and do not become chronic.

If you are constantly under pressure before the days off and believe not to have everything done in advance, you may not be able to enjoy your vacation and will no longer receive a recovery. The risk of total exhaustion and stress -related complications such as burnout increases. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain professional advice if you feel permanently stressed and decrease the quality of life. The Oberberg Group offers its own area for "stress medicine" for adults in which patients suffer from chronic stress, receive advice and treatment.
