Why do we experience double stress at the beginning of the week?

The reason for the profound impact of the first of the week lies in modern cultures. The beginning of the week symbolizes a return to responsibilities and expectations, even for those who are no longer employed. This cultural sense is so ingrained in our minds and bodies that even retirees are subconsciously affected by it. Chandola emphasizes that this phenomenon reflects a deep connection between social patterns and our biological responses.
