The study also revealed that the effects of a holiday often last for months after returning home.
Of those polled, 28 per cent said they felt relaxed for weeks after they returned from their last break overseas.

 Passengers on flights to La Manga could soon be able to get married while in the air, if easyJet gets its way.
The budget airline, which flies to Almeria, Murcia and Alicante on the Costa Blanca, has enquired with authorities as to whether its captains will be able to officiate weddings.
If its proposals are accepted, couples will be able to depart the UK as engaged and arrive for their holidays in Spain as husband and wife, eTravel reports.
"If our request is replied positively, then so called 'floating on cloud nine' would get a new meaning for people in love - and we can offer another special service to our passengers," commented Paul Simmons, UK regional general manager for easyJet.

 Staying in Spanish holiday villas could be one of the most affordable options available to British tourists at the moment.
That is the latest finding of Post Office Travel Services, which ranked Spain as the cheapest destination within the eurozone in its annual holiday costs barometer report.
Many holidaymakers may have been tempted in recent months to consider holidaying beyond traditional favourites such as Spain, with the pound weakening against the euro of late.
However, eurozone countries have heeded the warning and are cutting prices to entice wavering visitors back, the organisation found.

The body is urging people who plan to spend portions of their holidays driving to be well prepared in advance.
In particular, Which? claims that travellers should stock up on refreshments before they take to the road, rather than stopping off at services and petrol stations.

 The pocket travel guide is unlikely to go away anytime soon, despite the emergence of internet-based alternatives, it has been claimed.
A handy book detailing dos and don'ts has been taken on many a holiday in Spain over the years - and Tom Hall, travel editor at Lonely Planet, does not expect this to change.
He explained that there are always occasions when holidaymakers will be pleased to have "a printed companion" with them.
Such times may include "when you are in a particularly remote place, or when you are in a particularly busy place and you might not want to be seen using an expensive piece of technology", said Mr Hall.
