A formula for an ideal holiday assigns 6.1 hours to sleep and 4.8 hours to sunshine. It includes 2.2 hours of physical activity and 3.9 hours away from screens each day. Optimal conditions include about 25°C temperature, a light breeze, and no work emails. The balance of time should be roughly 70% with family and 30% focusing on oneself. Daily hydration of about three litres and a small sweet treat are recommended. People can begin enjoying a holiday upon booking, but typically need two full days to fully switch off from work.
The recipe for holiday happiness involves 6.1 hours of sleep followed by 4.8 hours of sunshine, he claims. It even includes 2.2 hours of physical activity - although this could be classed as going for a swim in the hotel pool. For those struggling to switch off, he recommends 3.9 hours are spent away from screens per day. Rather than 'ticking off sights', travellers should aim for 25°C heat, a light breeze and zero emails, he added.
Dr Cope recommends 70 per cent of a holiday should be spent with family, while the other 30 per cent should be spent focusing on yourself. Travellers should also drink three litres of water per day while abroad, he said, as well as enjoying a daily sweet treat. 'Holidays give us all a chance to rest, rejuvenate and come back fully charged,' he said.
