So, you've decided where you want to go on your next vacation and now it's booking time. The question is, should you splurge on a two-week vacation by the pool? Or will you be satisfied with a weekend city break? Well, according to science, in order to maximize vacation days, you need to get away for a minimum of eight days.

The Journal of Happiness Studies looked into the psychological processes associated with taking a vacation and found that eight days gives you enough time to unpack, settle in, unplug from work, and de-stress, which will result in better and longer sleep after a week and a rapid increase in health and wellness. The bad news? The study showed that the overall health and wellness of participants peaked on the eighth vacation day and had rapidly returned to baseline level within the first week of work resumption. Sigh. Although we can't say we're totally surprised.

Next time your boss refuses you the extra day, you might want to remind them of this study.

That's assuming lalasticlala even gets 3hours off

I think for Holidays in Nigeria 10-14days will do

5days to unpack
5-7days to settle in and unplug
