According to Statistics Canada data collected between July 2022 and July 2023, people over the age of 15 spent an average of 17 minutes a day resting, relaxing, or lying down, and an average of 18 minutes a day on relaxing pursuits known as \u201cactive leisure\u201d (think: birdwatching, camping, or going to an art gallery). That\u2019s translating into stress \u2013 more than a fifth of employed Canadians said their stress levels were high or very high. On top of all that, Expedia\u2019s 2024 Vacation Deprivation Report found that 45 per cent of Canadians left vacation days on the table in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/authors\/zosia-bielski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zosia Bielski<\/a> is the Globe and Mail\u2019s time use reporter.
