Research shows that people who work 11 or more hours a day have an increased risk of depression compared with people who work just seven or eight hours a day. Long work hours might lead to investing less time and care into your family and self, as well as less time to get exercise or eat healthy foods. Take advantage of your time to yourself! And when the work week rolls around, this study shows it might be in your best mental health interest to go home at a normal hour when you can.
