Work addicts experience sleep trouble, with their busy schedules, without realizing that sleep actually benefits productivity.

This sleep deprivation also leads to crankiness and memory impairment.

Work addicts suffer tension and stress related headaches which may give rise to migraines.

For workaholics the eating habits take a dip leading to stomach problems, due to irregular and ill-timed snacks and junk food, along with a dependence on stimulants like coffee.

Another side effect of living to work is pain, whether it is arthritis (joint pain), pain in the jaw or in the back due to the unhealthy sitting postures in the prolonged hours of working.

Workaholics have frequent mood changes, are cranky and irritable, having bouts of sadness.

The stress and diet-related factors, which lead to body and mind degradation, eventually make the workaholic mentally, physically and emotionally fatigued. This adds up, leading to burnout.
