Yes.
Sunday Scaries are real.
Yup, and it blows. I even got mad the other day when the bonvoy app sent me a push notification on Saturday to check in to my hotel. The Sunday Scaries are real and have the power to rob you of your time off. What I’ve found helps me is to unpack, do laundry, and repack my suitcase on Friday, and then put everything away where I can’t see it for the weekend. I also silence my work phone and don’t check it. This doesn’t get rid of the Scaries but it limits them to Sunday nights.
Glad it’s not just me. Also hate waking up Sunday morning with a reminder to check in for my flight. My brain immediately starts calculating the number of hours I have until I have to head to the airport.
Yes. And when it starts creeping early to the point where I don't truly enjoy any of my weekend, I know it's time to quit. One job was so bad that I started feeling it Friday night! (Only job in 15 years where I only lasted a few months)
I just remind myself that everyone else feels the Sunday scaries and if I send emails on Sunday night it will just enhance others’ Sunday scaries, so best to just delay send until the morning.
Time for a new job?
New project I would say
If you know nothing is falling apart, Don’t check your email till Monday morning. I actually make a point of not checking my email till I’m ready to work versus checking right when I wake up in the morning. Both techniques have cut down on stress / anxiety.
This is legit and TM’s helped a ton!! No more Sunday Scaries and overall feeling better about life: tm.org

same feeling. that's the reason I'm waiting for collective disconnect.
Yes, you can remedy this by starting work on Sunday.
Saturday scaries > Sunday scaries
At maybe 4pm when they kick in, I take 30 mins max to right my to do list, plan my week. I then feel wayyy better that I know what’s facing me.
Then I have a Sunday evening routine that I love. Pack while listening to a podcast or audiobook, cook a nice home chef meal, put on an episode of a series I’m watching with my husband & were not allowed to watch in the week (Chernobyl, Big Little Lies all been good hits). Then go to bed at 8pm, so the 5am start is still well rested.
Unfortunately part of the job; felt like I started getting used to it around 2.5 years in
Saaaaame. This is just me, but I notice if I take time to work out on Sunday it helps a lot. It’s got to be a real challenge though - a sweaty spin class or a longer/faster run, not a walk or yoga. Endorphins!
Scotch and Xanax works for me
Time for a new job!
Absolutely. When I first started I had this Sunday blue thing. Now I am beginning to have Saturday blue bc I use my Sunday to catch up.
Hahaha, probably not.
This was a huge problem for me...and it still sometimes is. I tried headspace, CBD, Xanax, bunch of other supplements/techniques. One thing I found thagmade a noticeable difference was 5HTP. You can get it at CVS. Hope you feel better!
