JAKARTA - Fatigue after a long holiday is usually due to lack of sleep or changing sleep patterns. We maximize vacation time by doing so much activity that it reduces rest time.

This condition allows a number of diseases that come after the holidays, including: 1. Leisure SicknessLeisureiness is a condition or symptoms of illness that will appear on weekends or on holidays. This condition is more common in men (3.6 percent) than in women (2.7 percent) with symptoms starting on 12 days after holidays or not long after important events that change lives such as marriage, the birth of a child, start new jobs, and complete school or university exams.

2. Obstacles in digestive tract occur due to changes in diet and not paying attention to food hygiene in holidays. Vacations using an airplane can also cause digestive disorders because flights can cause dehydration, slow the speed of movement of food through the intestines, and cause constipation upon arrival at the holiday site.

3. Migraine misgraine is caused by exposure to sunlight for too long, skipping meals, not drinking enough fluids, and messy sleep patterns. To avoid this, keep the same lifestyle every day as much as possible, even during long trips. Build at almost the same time, eating regularly due to low blood sugar can cause headaches, and drinking two to three liters of bottled water a day to prevent dehydration.

4. Colds are caused by air conditioning in planes and hotels can extract moisture from the air and cause the mucus layer inside the nose to dry out. In fact, this mucus layer serves to protect against infection. Colder air can help viruses breed.

"After the holiday period is over, it is not uncommon for us to face fatigue, weight gain, skin problems, and other diseases that are prone to emerge or suffer after the holidays," he said.

The steps that can be taken in the transition period from vacation to routine, according to Dr. Ega, include allowing or two days to adjust between returning from vacation and starting work.

Strive to return to your sleep schedule before vacation, plan fun recreational or social activities, adopt a positive routine so you can start working calmly.

"In addition, carry out regular physical activities and practice relaxation techniques, such as meditation," said Dr. Ega Bonar Bastari.
