Long hours: 10 comfort gadgets you need for work

We live in a time when working long hours is the norm. Whether you work at an organisation, on the road, or at your home, long hours can put a toll on your mental and physical health.

Many people push themselves to the limit working 16 hour shifts nonstop just to get the job done. They skip meals, eat unhealthy snacks, rely on coffee and energy drinks to keep on going, and to top it off, they lack sleep.

By the time they get through the long hours for a particular task, they get paid, spend most of their money on bills, and then it’s back to working long hours once again. The cycle continues and a person’s health and lifestyle deteriorate.

Effects on your health and lifestyle when working long hours

When you overwork yourself, your entire life falls apart. You may eat junk food regularly which is full of fat, sugar and salt. This leads to diabetes, hypertension, heart problems and high cholesterol.
