From the report, it also stated that most of these patients had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which is related to the body’s sleep/wake cycle and mental anxiety at the beginning of the week.

How to deal with the Monday Blues?

When checking for signs of symptoms, if you’re prone to the Monday Blues, it’s best to find ways to avoid or deal with them.

1. Plan work or To-do-list in advance when the last day of work arrives. Because writing down all the things to do for the next week will allow us to plan, deal with tasks, and solve problems more clearly. It helps reduce concerns about work not meeting goals.

2. On holidays, do not work too hard if it is not necessary. It should allow the body and mind to relax after a hard week.

3. Get enough rest. By Sunday night, you should go to bed earlier than usual to wake up in the morning feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Ready to cope with the hectic Monday morning life and the start of work.

4. Add a positive outlook on starting work on Monday. So that we have more motivation to work, for example, to meet and talk about fun stories or to have a cup of coffee with colleagues, etc., and try to focus on the present. Don’t worry about the past or the future that hasn’t arrived yet.

5. Don’t eat dinner on Sundays that are too full or caffeinated or alcoholic beverages because it will make us not sleep well.

6. Find ways to relax during the day. Don’t work hard all the time, for example, find a small toy or plant to decorate your desk, get up and walk and stretch, make yourself laugh by talking to others, etc.

If you have tried the methods above and Monday’s hatred hasn’t improved, or it may be very heavy, for example, waking up in the morning and feeling trembling, shortness of breath, that may be from panic attacks or intense anxiety. It is advisable to talk to your workplace or talk to a therapist to find a way to help solve a serious problem that will affect our physical and mental health. This will have a negative impact on life and work efficiency.
