Today is the first day back to work after the Spring Festival holiday. Many office workers suffer from similar symptoms - they can't concentrate, fight to keep their eyes open, feel generally exhausted - and are not in the mood to work.

It's not some disease, but results from being too relaxed during the past holiday week, then experiencing a shock to the system when returning to work to face new and challenging tasks.

The post-holiday syndrome isn't a disease, but can cause you to become susceptible to illness and can potentially be damaging your health.

So don't hesitate to battle against it. Try to ease back into your normal lifestyle, control your intake of meat and alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, and if you smoke - don't. If you still feel exhausted and suffer from insomnia within a couple of weeks it's probably time to pay a visit to your doctor.
