00:00Do you fall sick at the beginning of your holidays?
00:03It could be leisure sickness,
00:05a term created by Dutch researchers in the 2000s.
00:08It would affect 2 to 3% of the population.
00:11This phenomenon is characterized by fatigue,
00:13migraines, muscle pain or nausea
00:16from the beginning of the holidays.
00:18People with a high workload
00:20and an inability to adapt to rest
00:22would be the most affected, according to Dutch psychologists.
00:25Perfectionists and those with a high sense of responsibility
00:29would be particularly vulnerable.
00:31One of the researchers explains that these symptoms
00:33are often due to accumulated stress.
00:35Also, we would pay less attention to symptoms at work
00:38than once on vacation.
00:39No study has come to support the analysis
00:41carried out by Dutch researchers since the 2000s.
00:44It is therefore difficult to qualify this set of symptoms as a disease.
00:47These symptoms may as well be linked to environmental changes
00:50that occur at the start of the holidays.
00:52To avoid this leisure sickness,
00:54it is recommended to rest from the beginning of the holidays
00:56rather than multiplying activities.
00:58Exercise lightly to relax the body and mind
01:01and, in case of serious symptoms,
01:03consult a doctor.
