Do you often get sick when you are winding down for a holiday?

I’m not on leave until the end of next week but I’m definitely winding down. Still got lots to do but my motivation is dead-in-the-water and so I’ve not been as busy and productive as I normally am. Typically, because I’ve slowed down, I’m coming down with a cold! I rarely get sick, but this morning my throat is sore, my nose is congested and I can feel a whoop doozey of a cold brewing! So annoying.

Do you get sick when you wind down for a holiday? Why do you think this happens?
