Why it matters
Feeling dramatically better on holiday than at home is one of the most revealing health experiences you can have — because it tells you that your body is capable of feeling good, and that something in your regular home life is preventing it. The most common culprits are chronic work stress, poor sleep environment, lack of sunlight and movement, and the accumulated weight of daily obligations. But the specific combination that's different for you on holiday versus at home is individual. Normal helps you identify which holiday habits are driving the difference so you can bring them home.
When Normal helps
Normal tracks your wellbeing and habits during holiday periods versus regular life and finds what's specifically different. It isolates the habits that most explain the wellbeing difference — giving you a specific list of things to replicate at home.
How Normal finds it
Tell Normal how you feel on holiday and tell it about your holiday habits. When you're back home, tell it how you feel and what changed. Over time it builds a clear picture of which holiday habits are driving the difference.
