Tiring officework/college works, hectic schedules, exhilarating deadlines, stressful environment.
Now imagine that you don't have to continue this enervating cycle for the next two days.

Why do humans sweat while stressed?
You work from 9 to 5 each day.
Frustrated at day to day stuff that suddenly stops working or day to day tasks that often come off as annoying.
Taking continuous orders and often reprimands from the seniors and higher ups.
Then your house chores, personal tasks and commitments.
Wouldn't that just be a beautiful relief from the ruthless reality?

Isn't all of this just draining? Sure is.
This very feeling of sense of relief and calm is what makes us unproductive the day when there's holiday next day.
It drains all of us so much that many just sleep at the moment of contact with their bed/matress.

It is because we feel we finally have some time to can relax without worrying for the next day.
Adding to that the commute from home to work and back.
