Americans Can Easily See The Indicators They Need A Vacation
Most people get excited about vacation and start counting down the days to their next getaway. And for many, the indicators they are in need of a break can be pretty obvious.
A new Apple Vacation poll from SNWS Digital finds:
- 29% of people can recognize the physical and emotional signs they are in need of a vacation.
- High-stress levels (52%) and restlessness and fatigue (47%) are the top physical indicators.
- While irritability (55%), lack of focus at work (49%), and daydreaming (48%) are emotional signs.
It doesn’t take long to acknowledge those indicators, with just seven bad workdays needed before someone feels the pull for a vacation. Their relationship can tell them as well, with 65% saying that feeling disconnected from their partner is a sure clue a vacation is needed.
Some of the top ways people know it’s time for vacation include:
-
- Feeling stressed and overwhelmed (39%)
- Needing a break from work (38%)
- They and their partner need a break (36%)
- Having extra funds (32%)
- Kids and family want to go on vacation (32%)
We once received a DM Drama about vacations:
Jennifer in Concord said: Because of the pandemic I haven’t been on a real vacation in almost two years and I finally started to plan a trip last week. My boyfriend walked in on me and is now all excited about going away together. The problem is – I wasn’t planning on inviting him with me. After really only seeing him and my parents for the past two years I was hoping to take a little solo vaca and sit at the beach and do nothing, something he really isn’t into since he always like to run around and explore when we travel. He seems so excited now it may hurt his feelings if I tell him I don’t want him to go. How should I break it to him? Or am I stuck taking him with me?
