The day of rest

After lying in bed for longer than usual you get up and plan for the rest of the day. Now sunday is usually the day you realise that you have homework to do for school tomorrow or you are starting a week of work tomorrow.

It's also the day you are supposed to rest and relax after a week of work and play. So why is it that sundays are often the most boring and wasteful days of the week?

Taking TV for an example. On a saturday evening you get TV channels putting on supposedly the best line-up of shows to entertain us on one of our days off. However, that's also the day you tend to be out enjoy a night on the town. Saturdays are usually the day that Sky Movies likes to show a premiere of some big movie. You then look at the schedules on a sunday and it's punctuated by long spells of crap. Sky Movies don't show premieres on a sunday evening.

I would like to know what the heck is up with this. Surely the better practice would be to move schedules? Put the crap on a day you are going out and the good stuff on the day you'll spend home.
