Science says, take the damn vacation!

Happy Holi...I want a day off! But seriously...This week we're sipping on the unrealistic social narrative that people actually get to take a holiday during the holidays. And while it would be great if that was the reality, we'll come back to earth a bit and discuss the benefits of taking vacation time. Including tips and science-based suggestions on how how to optimize that time, whether you have 24 hours or 24 days of Christmas. And, regardless of when you actually get to take some time off, these tips can help you both optimize and extend the health and wellness benefits that come from taking some time for ourselves. *Dislaimer: I apologize for not including the breadth of end-of-year holidays. I am always interested to learn about new cultural celebrations and would love to hear about any important holidays that I missed or I should be attentive to during this time of year!
