Weekends should be a time to relax, to unwind and get over the stresses of the past-week while recharging the batteries for the week ahead. But, instead too many of us now actively dread the thought of the two-day break as it has become busier than the working week!

The truth is that for far too many, planning for the weekend has become akin to a working out the logistics for a co-ordinate military exercise. Making sure that we the squeeze the maximum amount of activity into a mere 48 hour period has become, like everything else in our lives, a competition. We compete against each other and the dreaded clock as we strive to produce the ‘best’ possible weekend.

But we don’t help ourselves, because we live in an age when too many of us are consumed with guilt when idle. So, instead of relishing any peace, there is a nagging doubt that we should be doing something productive; so it’s no wonder that we have trouble sleeping. Sleep deprivation is on the rise according to the government, as we simply find it far too difficult to switch off from life. Even though the body needs rest the mind simply can’t stop ticking over.

To compound stress levels further, it appears anyone equipped with the latest versions of smart phones can never escape the office. Wherever they go they can be contacted. Employers expect us to be at the desk for the allotted working hours, but many now even consider contacting workers outside of core hours as the norm. Can we ever escape?

During the week domestic chores remain undone and laundry piles up. All those modern appliances that were meant to make our lives easier have merely made them fuller, as we desperately try to squeeze another activity into the time freed by having the latest mod-cons.

Additionally, the stress levels aren’t helped by the fact that there are now too many active choices for weekends; DIY, shopping, watching sport, playing sport, operating as the kids’ taxi, and many others. There simply isn’t time to relax, is there?

Well, yes there is; take a break from the stress and try doing as little as possible. Join the hundreds of thousands of people who use their weekend to get away from the stress of the week, not add to it! Many leave their house and worries behind and escape for their relaxation; a pampered spa weekend, for example, is now proving a popular respite from the modern world. Alternatively, visit the beach - either in this country or via a cheap flight, in.

Finally, there is an even simpler solution. If you are just too exhausted to leave the confines of the house, unplug the phone, lock the door, batten down the hatches and spend the entire weekend at home, doing absolutely nothing.

周末，本来应该用来放松，释放过去一周的压力，同时为下周的做好充分的准备。但是，大多数人却发现: 那原本应该用来休息的两天却比上班时间更忙，反而不愿意过周末。

事实上，有太多的事情需要做。为了能从那仅有的48小时中挤压出最多的时间，安排好周末就像是安排军事演习中的后勤支援一样复杂。就像生活中的所有其它事情，是一场残酷的战斗。我们和所有人竞争，和恐怖的钟拼命，为了得到一个可能“最好的”周末。

但我们无能为力，因为在我们所处的这个时代，太多人都会因为无所事事而充满罪恶感。所以总有一些长期以来的焦虑和疑虑认为，与其享受平静的时间，不如做一些有意义有建设性的事情。这也难怪我们的睡眠雷竞技百科 有问题。据政府统计，失眠的人越来越多.。我们难以摁下生活的暂停键，当疲惫的身体需要休息，大脑还是不能停止指挥。

人们装备了最新版的智能手机确保永远在线，来应对各种各样的压力。无论他们去哪里，都能被联系到。雇主不仅希望我们在工作时间呆在办公桌旁，更会在规定的工作时间以外打电话给我们。我们能逃离工作吗？

一个星期的累计的家务依然没有完成，脏衣服也堆在洗衣机。本来要让我们生活更简便的现代家电反而将生活变得更加繁杂,同时我们又拼命想要通过使用最新式的家电，来从中挤出一点点地活动时间。

另外，压力并不能被减轻，虽然有丰富的活动可以选择；自己做东西玩，买东西，看比赛，做运动，围绕着孩子打转，还有很多其它的活动。简单来看根本没有时间去放松，是吗？

不，其实有，就是这样，试着可能的少做一些事情来舒缓压力：和成千上百人一起在周末逃离工作的压力，不要增加压力！很多人离开自己的房子，把烦心事丢在一边，来慢慢放松自己；在周末尽情享受一个SPA。就这样，让我们从现代生活中逃离一会儿。去国内的某个海边，或者来个短途旅行。

最后，有一个简单的解决方法。如果你累得不想走出房门一步，就拔掉电话，锁上门，关上窗户，整个周末都呆在家里，什么都不要做。
