What are the impacts of spending excessive hours at work on individuals' health and well-being

The hidden and apparent dangers of spending 70-90 hours every week at work can have detrimental effects on physical and mental health.
  • Increased risk of mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression due to continuous pressure and burnout.
  • Physical health implications like higher blood pressure, obesity, and weakened immune system from lack of time for exercise and proper self-care.
  • Disruption of sleep patterns leading to fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and reduced productivity.
  • Neglect of personal relationships and social life, resulting in feelings of isolation and loneliness.
  • Potential impact on overall quality of life, as excessive work hours can lead to decreased satisfaction and fulfillment.
It is crucial to prioritize work-life balance to maintain both physical and mental well-being.
