duvet days

Wellness leave days

Duvet days are days when you stay in bed rather than face the world—sometimes as an employer-granted personal day, sometimes just because you can't muster the energy to get up.

The term is British, referencing the duvet (comforter) you remain wrapped in: I'm taking a duvet day—I just can't deal with work today.
