Why Do People Suffer from the 'Monday Blues'?

The 'Monday blues' are like waking up to a big, sad cloud after your weekend. When you're at work all week, your brain starts getting used to the boring parts of your job and the stress from things like meetings or deadlines. Then it's time for the weekend, your favorite part, but when Monday comes back, your brain feels confused and tired, just like waking up from a long vacation.
