21 January – the most depressing day of the year
“Metro”: On Monday 21 January awaits us the most depressing, a depressing and depressive day this year. The newspaper cites the conclusions reached by a certain Dr. Cliff Arnall, former researcher at Cardiff University, which was already a few years ago – together with a team of several psychologists and mathematicians, he conducted unusual research. Their effect is a special describing algorithm, how our optimism changes in the following days of the year due to, inter alia,. on the balance of our bank accounts, fatigue and overwork or even the weather. After taking into account dozens of statistical data, like, among others. number of suicides, marriage brawls, complex terminations at workplaces, written sick leaves or absenteeism in schools, experts concluded, that the most depressing day of the year falls on the penultimate Monday of January. Why? – The end of January is time, when the fact comes to us, that our New Year's resolutions took a toll on us. We get rid of our illusions, that the year started will be easier than the previous one, and comes to us, how much work awaits us in it.
In addition, we feel the expenses made for Christmas more and more, Credits beat us more and more, which we dragged for gifts, and the January salaries have not yet been credited to the accounts. Additionally, we do not have a day off from work in view, and there is still a lot of time until the holidays, Arnall explains.
