Sunday scaries
Pre-Monday anxiety wave
Sunday scaries is the anxiety or dread that builds on Sunday evening as the weekend ends and the workweek looms.
The feeling typically peaks in late afternoon, combining unfinished weekend tasks with anticipation of Monday's demands: I can't enjoy Sunday dinner because the Sunday scaries have already set in.
