(連休明け) What is the story behind this trend in Social Media today?

In Japan, a rare five-day Silver Week holiday period just concluded. It ran from Saturday the 19th through Wednesday the 23rd of September 2026, created by the alignment of Respect-for-the-Aged Day, a National Holiday in between, and Autumnal Equinox Day. This particular five-day stretch had not occurred in eleven years.Social media today is filled with people anticipating or already feeling the return to ordinary routines starting Thursday the 24th. Typical posts describe reluctance to go back to work or school, lingering tiredness after the break, disrupted sleep or weekday rhythms, crowded morning commutes, and a general sense of the holiday high wearing off. The phrase itself has become a recurring seasonal expression of that shared post-break slump, appearing whenever a multi-day holiday ends.
