👉 The Friday Flu, also known as the "Friday Effect," is a phenomenon where individuals often experience heightened stress, anxiety, and sometimes physical symptoms, such as fatigue or headaches, on Fridays. This psychological response is thought to be linked to the transition from the more relaxed weekend to the structured workweek, creating a sense of pressure and unpredictability. The exact causes are not fully understood but may involve hormonal changes, such as increased cortisol levels, and the anticipation of work-related tasks. Understanding and managing these feelings can help individuals better cope with the stress associated with this Friday phenomenon.
