The Truth Behind the Monday Blues



There is no person who has not complained, at least once in their life, about the fact that it is Monday. Monday is the epitome of bad things in the world, the beginning of the week, when no grass grows, and we are all in the mood of doing absolutely nothing… not even smiling. 

It would seem that Monday blues is not a joke or an exaggeration. However, specialists put this feeling exclusively on the account of changes in our sleeping rhythm (we tend to sleep more during the weekend) and the necessity of making social adjustments to get back to normal (where “normal” refers to the regular schedule of our working days).
