Working more than 25hrs 'bad for brain'
Middle-aged workers should switch to part-time because working 9-to-5 all week is bad for the brain.
And if they're pulling lots of overtime - 60 hours or more - their brains are performing worse than if they were unemployed.
Those are the findings of a study of 6500 Australians aged over 40 that was conducted by Japanese researchers and published by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research.
It found that for middle-aged and older people, working a maximum of 25 hours a week drew out the best performance from their brains.

personally, im happiest with 2*12 hr days.

Personally, part time works for me. My dogs appreciate my companionship much more than my co-workers.

Every now and then one of them will crack wise about my dyslexia and typos. I respond with either "Let he with opposable thumbs cast the first stone." or "Shut the hell up or you're never going for another ride in the Element to the McDonald's drive thru."

I think this article is simply some Chinese dudes, in disguise as Japanese researchers trying to convince the 48% of the Striners who are still working, to give up so they can take over your nation.

Being the head of the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research sounds like a cool job.
