Back-to-work blues hit most at 4pm on last day of weekend holiday

The sinking feeling you get at the end of a holiday weekend start to kick in at around mid-afternoon, a new poll has revealed.

According to the survey, three out of four admitted that they generally start feeling glum at about 4pm as the fear of returning to the office began to draw closer, the Daily Express reported.

The poll by holiday website CheapCruises.com, which questioned 1,000 people, found that a further eight per cent of the total respondents claimed their good mood lasted until 5pm, while the rest fell into a great depression by 7pm.
