Sunday Scaries are the feeling of stress, nervousness, and worry that many people experience on Sunday nights. They are the ping of fear that hits when you realize that the weekend is over and Monday is near - and it sucks!
Think of the Sunday Scaries as that little gut-punch and jolt of “OMG!” that you feel in the pit of your stomach on Sunday afternoon. It’s the realization that tomorrow is Monday - and therefore the end of freedom and the beginning of the rat race.
According to a survey conducted by job site Monster, up to 76% of Americans self-reported having “really bad” Sunday night worries, compared to just 47% of people around the world.
According to a national survey conducted by LinkedIn, 80% of professionals have the Sunday Scaries - even higher for Gen Z (94%) and Millennials (91%). When they were asked about the reason, worrying about their workload for the coming weeks was first on the list, followed by a lack of work-life balance.

The Sunday Scaries can be caused or exacerbated by a weekend of drinking. But as former bar owners who transitioned into the CBD business, we’ve found that Sunday Scaries aren’t just caused by alcohol or drinking. The Sunday Scaries are caused by the frustrations of everyday life in our modern world.
Everyone from your grandmammy to your Great Dane has dealt with them, yet nobody talks about it. Everyone has their own version of worries. School, work, relationships, simply waking up in the morning, the Scaries come in all shapes and sizes and any day of the week, too.
We’ve all got our own battles, but that shouldn’t mean we have to fight them alone. This is life, not a rambo movie.
Sunday Scaries was founded to transform a worrisome nation into a chill one - one person at a time.
Call us crazy (lots of people have), but we believe everybody deserves a hand on a difficult day and a fair shot at a Scarefree life. That’s exactly what we provide - with laughter, with CBD and any other way we can.
