Sunday scaries are anxiety about the week ahead. They often show up as dread, restlessness, poor sleep or a tight stomach on Sunday evening. Occasional nerves are normal. Dread every weekend can point to burnout, work stress or anxiety.
Plan one small thing to look forward to on Monday. Set a cut-off time for work messages. Wind down Sunday night with a routine, such as a walk, salah or time with family. If the dread keeps coming back, a therapist can help you find the cause.
