Overview

• Vueling’s newly reported survey finds Brits only truly relax at about 10am on their sixth day away, citing lingering email checks, home monitoring and money worries.
• EasyJet’s earlier 2,000-person study, interpreted by wellbeing expert Dr Andy Cope, concludes people typically switch off after roughly two days.
• Cope’s suggested daily mix includes about 6.1 hours of sleep, 4.8 hours of sunshine, 2.2 hours of physical activity and close to 3.9 hours away from screens.
• The guidance also favors conditions around 25°C with a light breeze, no emails and a balance of 70% family time to 30% time for oneself.
• Respondents highlighted simple holiday highs such as beaches and pool swims, tasting local cuisine and enjoying sunsets and evening strolls.
