The trap we fall into every year: exhaustion doesn't go on vacation

The article discusses the phenomenon known as the 'fade-out effect' of vacations, where people return to work feeling just as exhausted as they were before their break. It explains that while vacations do provide temporary relief from burnout and work-related stress, these benefits often disappear within days or weeks after returning to work. Research cited indicates that the positive effects of vacation on well-being typically last around a week, with some studies showing a return to pre-vacation levels of stress and fatigue within three to four weeks. The article highlights that this issue stems not from physical exhaustion but from emotional burnout, which cannot be resolved by time off alone.
