Why Does Vacation Joy Last So Short? Science Explains

Why does the joy of vacation last so short? Science provides the answer.

Neuroscience explains how we experience the first days in a new environment and why small, frequent getaways benefit us more.

Most of us have noticed that in the first days of vacation, enthusiasm is intense but gradually begins to decline. This feeling is a normal function, as the brain processes the new environment, adapts, and receives rewards from new experiences.
