Why taking a break from work and really switching off is important for your health
- It’s never been easier to stay connected to work. Even when we’re on leave, our phones and laptops keep us tethered.
- This feeling of connection or “digital presenteeism”, can impact our health by making us stressed, anxious and burnt out.
- Taking annual leave can remove these problems as well as helping improve and enjoy our non-work activities and relationships.
- A 2017 meta-analysis of 86 studies revealed taking holidays can lead to reduced stress and less exhaustion during the holiday period.
- Studies show we sleep more, do more exercise, and become more physically active during annual leave, resulting in good health.
- The best vacation is the one that fits your preferences and budget – there’s no such thing as a perfect holiday.
- Reduce the friction and chaos, avoid putting yourself in settings of conflict and tension and engage in restorative mental activities during the break.
- Research is clear: vacations are essential for our health and wellbeing. Aim for multiple smaller breaks throughout the year, rather than a single longer vacation.
