How can it be that my body always waits for a weekend to get sick?

Depends: Interestingly, many think most of us who stay pressured during the work week are bolstering our immune system. Stress let down can trigger sense of feeling "sick" or even show immune sys let down with illnesses. Also significant change in our sleep-wake cycle during wkend or vacations can disrupt body & brain enough to cause symptoms.
