> Many people have shared with me their contempt for Sundays, and there seems to be no shortage of psychiatric literature referring to a “Sunday neurosis” or a feeling of gloom related to the day.

Oh, can relate. Work’s the next day, of course it’s a downer. You spent yesterday catching up on necessary stuff you’d deferred in favor of work for five days straight, so didn’t really have an actual break, and now your momentary breather has another damn work day following it, so you feel like starting anything you actually want to do is pointless. You dread night because you’ll be waking too early to the alarm clock. Yeah, it sucks, there’s a reason some cultures have the attitude that anything short of a week isn’t a real break from work.
