WHY working more than 8 hours is harmful?
It was found out that over-working is bad for your health. It is even more harmful than alcohol and nicotine. Calculations have shown that a person, who works 11 hours a day, has up to a 70 percent higher chance of getting a heart attack.
Apart from heart disease, about 60 percent of those, who work overtime, are more likely to fall ill with acute respiratory infections and suffer various injuries. And the illnesses have nothing to do with the nature of the work at all.

Scientists from the University of Otago in New Zealand discovered another plague. They found that even a 10-hour working day can provoke a tendency to alcoholism. After all, the more a person works, the stronger the desire to relax. And the easiest way to do this is with alcohol.

LOL. I can tell you DON'T have kids. I guess it depends on what your definition of work is. But yeah, it's important to NOT spend more than 6 hours a day in front of a computer. Even if you have an 8 hr a day job, you should take a lot of breaks. But I easily work 11+ hour days, every day, if you include everything outside my day job. Working a 14 hour day is par for the course if you have kids and are a single parent. The demands almost never stop.
