People compete at work – they want to be appreciated by their colleagues and bosses. We sometimes dedicate our whole day to our companies trying to accomplish the tasks on time. Being indispensable is flattering, but is it worth the effort?

The article below is useful for those who haven’t yet planned their vacation. If you have been putting off your vacations for the past few years, it is high time for you to start the preparations.
Here are 5 reasons why you should take some time off work and routine.

1. Prevent your brain from shrinking. According to experts, stress causes even more problems. The reason why you feel irritated and depressed is probably because you won’t let your brain relax. Take a break and get rid of mental tension by going on vacation. Time off work will lower the risk of heart attack by 50% in women and by 30% in men.

2. Get some rest. Your natural body clock needs to be reset from time to time. The more you work the less sleep you get. Escaping from your office routine will help you restore your biological rhythm. Chronic lack of sleep is extremely unhealthy. You might not even fully realize how much sleep you are missing each night. The only way to solve the problem is to go on vacation.
