Time to Go! Holiday Guests Officially Overstay Their Welcome After 4 Days, Survey Says

By Jim Liebelt

The following is excerpted from an online article posted by StudyFinds.

A survey of 2,000 Americans (split evenly by generation) finds that 49 percent of people think spending four days or more as a guest is too long. Guests seem to be mindful of this unspoken rule. When hosting others, 79 percent say their guests stay four nights or less.

The survey also found that those hosting friends and family during the holidays lose 2.5 hours of sleep per day when preparing to have others in their home. Of all the generations, Gen Z are the most likely to lose at least four hours of sleep per day while prepping for guests.

Usually, 32 percent of respondents say they’re both hosts and guests at some point during the holidays, while one in six only host people or only stay as guests. The OnePoll survey results showed that Gen Z respondents are most likely to host guests, while millennials are among the top to stay over as guests.
