The weather is cold, stormy and making a mess of everything. The days are short and the nights are long. You're exhausted and just want to stay in bed instead of go to work. Add it all up and today is supposedly everyone's worst day for the whole year. Oh really? Well you can believe in the tooth fairies too. But, According to British psychologist Dr. Cliff Arnall, it's true. He has devised a sophisticated mathematical calculation that predicts Monday as the worst day of the year. Dr. Arnall specializes in seasonal disorders at the University of Cardiff, Wales. A few years ago he devised a formula that equates peoples' saddness along with other factors, and found that Jan. 22 is indeed "Blue Monday". Umm, I'm not sold. Nevertheless, let's give the guy a shot. Here is his formula: [W + (D-d)] x TQ M x NA Here is a legend for the formula: (W) weather; (D) debt; (d) monthly salary; (T) time since Christmas; (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action. The formula was devised to help a travel company “analyze when people book holidays and holiday trends,” said Alex Kennedy, spokesperson for Porter Novelli, a London-based PR agency. Ticket sales to the sunnier parts of the globe apparently go up this time of year exactly because of the lack of warmth and daylight. “People feel bleak when they have nothing planned, but once they book a holiday...imagine [sic] yourself on the beach it makes you feel positive. You will save money, go to the gym and come back to the optimism,” she said. In U.K., nearly one third get SAD. There are others who agree with Arnall. “I’m sure it's right,” said Dr. Alan Cohen, spokesperson for the Royal College of General Practitioners, referring to Arnall's equation.
