Why do you love weekends?

Whether your weekends are on Saturday and Sunday, some time during the week or even just one day off; we all enjoy some relaxation. It is necessity for psychological and phsyical health. But if you find yourself feeling absolute dread about Mondays, there may be a larger issue.
