Holidays help you relax and lower blood pressure and stress levels, with the benefits lasting for at least a fortnight longer than the vacation. In some cases, they can be felt for months. The average blood pressure of people on holiday dropped by 6%, while it rose by 2% in those who worked over the same period, report a study. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17% while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14%. The majority reported feeling happier, more rested and much less stressed because of their vacations, which clearly demonstrates holidays improves your ability to physically cope with stress.
