For several weeks now you’ve been tired, irritable, hypersensitive, easily annoyed—in short, you feel fragile both physically and emotionally. Your loved ones keep asking how you are, and you really feel less efficient than usual.

Perhaps it’s time for a vacation! Here are 6 telltale signs that should tell you it’s time for a break:
You look unwell
When you look at yourself in a mirror, you feel like you’re seeing a zombie.
Your complexion is pale, you have dark circles and bags under your eyes, and when people look at you, they get the impression you’ve been partying all weekend… but not at all, quite the opposite! It’s just the fatigue that’s accumulated over the last few months…
You are tired
Even though you sleep seven to eight hours a night, for the past few weeks you really feel like you’re never getting enough sleep.
Moreover, lately you have been having trouble getting up in the morning and you tend to be drowsy during the day.
You dream of a nap after lunch, and several lie-ins to recharge.
Your immune system is failing you
Every time you come across someone who has a cold or the flu, you catch it too.
Do you think that all you need to do is stock up on medication and vitamins to get back in shape? You’re wrong.
What you need is a few days, or even a few weeks, off work to really rest, relax, recharge and regain a stronger immune system.
You are emotionally fragile
You are stressed and anxious. The slightest thing annoys you, you are very irritable and you take offense at everything.
You are more impatient than ever and you are definitely not in the mood to laugh at your neighbor’s silly jokes.
It’s a sure thing: you need a vacation and a change of scenery!
You are accumulating mistakes
Those around you describe you as an organized, perfectionist and conscientious person, but lately, you could be called Gaston Lagaffe because you make so many blunders.
And the worst part is, you can’t even stop yourself anymore!
You are clumsy, you feel like you have no memory and you are not paying attention to what you are doing.

Your problems seem insurmountable.
