Eight Hours A Week - Deepstash

Eight Hours A Week

An extensive study shows that just eight hours a week is enough for the average worker to generate significant mental health and well-being benefits.

Working between one to eight hours per week resulted in decreased risk of mental health issues, especially among people recently unemployed.

Working has some intangible benefits, called psychological vitamins, like social contact, structured routine, shared goals, enforced activity, variety and a sense of identity. Spending more time at work does not lead to an increase in the benefits.
