More than half of football fans wish that the Monday after the big game was a national holiday (55%), according to new research.
A survey of 3,000 respondents 21 and older who will be watching the big game explored their feelings about the day after, finding that where Mondays are concerned, a majority of respondents prefer other days of the week in general (76%).
Mondays are the most disliked day of the week according to two-thirds of those surveyed who said that everything feels slower and expressed that their sadness about the weekend being finished carries over (34% each).
Conducted by Talker Research in partnership with Coors Light, the survey found that on average, respondents have “a case of the Mondays” at least once a month, averaging 15 times a year.
For respondents, this means they “feel drained and find it hard to do my work,” become short-tempered and easily agitated” or “move in slow motion until I’m off the clock.”
All of this considered, one in four have a difficult time getting through the beginning of the week (26%), with nearly one in 10 admitting they start “checking out” for the week as early as Monday.
To get through the week, those surveyed swear by “treating Mondays as if they were Fridays,” “focusing on one task at a time to help you make small accomplishments” or “motivating yourself as much as you can.”
“We get it — Mondays can hit hard, especially after an epic Sunday game,” said Marcelo Pascoa, vice president of marketing at Coors Light. “That’s why we’re here to encourage football fans to choose chill on what feels like one of the Monday-est Mondays of the year.”
While having “a case of the Mondays” after being out late on Sunday is a common experience for seven in 10 adults (71%), 60% admit they’re also likely to have this after the big game.
Even worse than an average first day of the workweek, more than two in five people agree that the Monday after game day is one of the top three most despised Mondays of the year (41%).
This contempt for the day after comes from football fans not wanting to face that Monday after being up late (50%) and the thought of heading into work after a riveting game (46%).
Results showed that for others, the disappointment is more game-based: 36% shared that it signals the end of football season for them and another 18% miss seeing their favorite teams play.
“The Monday after Big Game Sunday can feel like one of the slowest days of the year,” said Pascoa. “We’re here to encourage fans to choose chill, even when Monday calls.”
