The tired part could be the body getting some rest from the daily grind.
Hmmm.... Kids get Homesick when they go to Summer Camp for a week.
Maybe you subconciously (sp?) are missing work and it makes you work sick being away from work for a week?

Actually I did some research. There is a medicinal term for it. It is called leisure sickness. It happens to people in high stress jobs. Your body produces hormones to combat the stress and physical demands from work. When you have time of work your body stops producing these hormones and it is very similar to steroid withdrawal.

Oh Yeah
Im just the opposite, body feels great when on vacation. 2 days in back from vacation they all come back and im reminded im getting older and these idiots are beating the hell out of me again. Shouldnt be hard to relax per say on vacation, if you cant then you must like the job while the rest of us hate the job. I have to stay busy while on vacation and do stuff but im not killing myself 1 bit physically and sleep in everyday like a mother and get some rest lol.

Look into a new mattress.
Seriously though, this job is extremely physically demanding and we are very active at work.
Join a gym, bike, etc... you'll feel healthier when you are off and you'll remain active when you retire.
If you have children, do it with them, or a significant other, get the entire family involved.

My problem is just the opposite; I never feel good unless I'm on vacation.
...and when I retire, step aside Maslov, I'm coming through!
Funny you should say this. On Christmas morning when I had small children at home, without a doubt I would be sick, laying on the couch trying to participate. My husband always says I get sick only on weekends, holidays, and vacations. Never miss work. This syndrome sucks.
I think we notice things more when we are off. We aren't pushing our bodies like we do when we are working because we know it isn't necessary. When we are working, we just grit our teeth and do it. I don't get sick while off, but I do have migraines more often while on vacation compared to when I'm working.

My ex used to get migraines to the point where she had to go lay down in a dark room.

A very quiet, dark room.... and pray that you don't have nausea along with the migraine.

Respectfully disagree. Anything more then a week at a time is too much IMO. Took 3 weeks off in a row one time. When I came back I pulled every muscle in my body. Too long not doing the job.
