The provided sources explore the "Monday effect", a multifaceted phenomenon where financial markets, workplace safety, and public health experience significant negative shifts at the start of the week. Research indicates that stock returns are frequently lower on Mondays, while occupational accidents, heart attacks, and suicide rates tend to peak as the workweek begins. These trends are often attributed to "social jet lag" and the "fresh start effect", where transitions in sleep patterns and mental outlooks create biological and psychological stress. To mitigate these risks, experts recommend "soft start" morning routines, including hydration, meditation, and structured nutrition to stabilize the body's internal clock. Philosophically, the texts contrast the dread of "Existential Monday" with the opportunity to use temporal landmarks as a catalyst for positive behavioral change. Ultimately, the collection highlights how the circadian rhythm and human psychology intersect to make Monday a period of unique vulnerability and potential.
