The “Sunday Scaries” regularly affect more than two-thirds of Britons who report work stresses, lack of sleep and looming to-do lists as the primary causes of anxiety before the start of the working week.

If this is you or someone you know, then perhaps read on…

The beauty in the rise of remote working means weekends don’t have to necessarily finish at 5pm on a Sunday when the tireless routine of ironing shirts, meal prepping and readying for work usually begins. Aztec Hotel & Spa in Bristol is seeing more and more of its city dweller and corporate customers championing the extension of the weekend with its new Sunday Night Getaway Spa Package.

Making Sunday the new Saturday, guests can check in to the hotel from 3pm and enjoy a fine-dining dinner in the hotel’s award-winning Curious Kitchen, before having a dreamy night’s sleep in a Signature room. Guests can choose a few more extra zzz’s than usual, or for those who want to kickstart their week, start with an early morning visit to the gym and spa pool. As this is all on your doorstep there is no stress of the clock ticking away involved! Before logging on to the complimentary and reliable Wi-Fi at 9am, enjoy a breakfast of champions, choosing from dishes such as American Stack Pancakes, Eggs Royale or a full Northern Breakfast.

Aztec Hotel & Spa has numerous areas for workers to beaver away, whether it’s next to an open fire in the reception lounge or a working pod for something a little more private.

If it is just one of those Mondays, guests can book in for a treatment in the spa, which is sure to melt any stresses away… at least until Tuesday anyway!

To start the week re-energised and raring to go, try the Caudalie Des Vignes Body Massage (55 minutes, £72) which uses compression techniques to gently soothe tension and re-boost your energy.

If deadlines are looming and you’re short on time, try an express 25-minute treatment like the Temple Spa My Kinda Massage (25 minutes, £45) to help soothe and calm frazzled nerves and wind down an active mind, tension and stress simply melt away.
