Most Japanese people take leave from at the end of April to early May, because there are many public holidays.
For more detail, see "Golden Week (Wikipedia)"
One member of my family also took leave for that period. But the vacation disturbed the rhythm of her life. She said, "My daily rhythm is disturbed, because I have nothing to do with." To her, it was odd that I kept the rhythm of my life, although I was a Hikikomori who was out of work and lived in my house almost every day. "Why do you keep the daily rhythm?" She asked. I tried to find the answer.
A.1 Because my life didn't change very much despite holidays.
To my family who usually work on business days, holiday can disturb the normal rhythm of her life. On the other hand, to me, almost everyday is holiday. So, holiday doesn't affect the habitual rhythm of life.
A.2 I make something to do every day although I'm unemployed.
After I became Hikikomori, I made it a rule to listen to a radio English program every day. That developed my daily rhythm.
Currently, in addition to the radio program, I manage some websites and that develop my daily rhythm. For instance, when I update my Japanese weblog "Neet Hikikomori Journal," I make it a rule to update every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.. I do so because if so, readers of my weblog can easy to expect when I update my weblog. As a result, that develop my daily rhythm.
In addition, I go to facilities for Hikikomori people.
I fill my remaining time with housework, reading books, etc.
