Isn't all of this just draining? Sure is.
Ask Ethan: What are the "first stars" in the Universe? - Big Think
It is because we feel we finally have some time to can relax without worrying for the next day.
Then your house chores, personal tasks and commitments.
You work from 9 to 5 each day.
Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
Adding to that the commute from home to work and back.
Taking continuous orders and often reprimands from the seniors and higher ups.
Frustrated at day to day stuff that suddenly stops working or day to day tasks that often come off as annoying.
Now imagine that you don't have to continue this enervating cycle for the next two days.
Wouldn't that just be a beautiful relief from the ruthless reality?
Tiring officework/college works, hectic schedules, exhilarating deadlines, stressful environment.
It drains all of us so much that many just sleep at the moment of contact with their bed/matress.
This very feeling of sense of relief and calm is what makes us unproductive the day when there's holiday next day.
