A new study examined data from more than 1,000 workers over a 10-year period. Sedentary workers show a 37% increase in insomnia-like symptoms. Employees who do not work traditional schedules are 66% more likely to have to “catch up on sleep”. People who sit a lot as part of their jobs – an estimated 80% […]A new study examined data from more than 1,000 workers over a 10-year period.

Can Smartwatches Help Predict Depression?
The coronavirus pandemic has also triggered a pandemic of mental illness. Worldwide, approximately one billion people suffer from various psychiatric illnesses. Korea is one of the more severe cases, with about 1.8 million patients suffering from depression and anxiety disorders, and the total number of patients with clinical mental illnesses has increased by 37% to […]The coronavirus pandemic has also triggered a pandemic of mental illness.

Study Links Communication Between Liver and Brain to Daily Eating Habits
People who work the night shift or work irregular hours and eat at irregular hours are more prone to weight gain and diabetes, likely due to eating habits that don’t align with natural daylight and usual meal times. But is it possible to avoid the negative effects of eating at these “unusual” times, even though […]People who work the night shift or work irregular hours and eat at irregular hours are more prone to weight gain and diabetes, likely due to eating habits that don't align with natural daylight and usual meal times.

How Jet Lag Can Negatively Affect Your Metabolism
Have you ever felt sluggish and uncomfortable after a long-haul flight or a night shift? A new study by the University of Surrey and the University of Aberdeen has shown that disruptions to our internal clock, such as those that occur with jet lag, affect our metabolism – albeit to a lesser extent than fatigue […]Have you ever felt sluggish and uncomfortable after a long-haul flight or a night shift?

Light at the End of the Tunnel for Night Shift Workers
Using circadian lighting, in which artificial lighting is synchronized with natural biological rhythms or a person’s “internal clock,” significantly improves the sleep quality and work performance of night shift workers, a large new study has found. The study is among the first rigorous laboratory experiments to simultaneously examine the effects of circadian lighting on markers […]Using circadian lighting, in which artificial lighting is synchronized with natural biological rhythms or a person's “internal clock,” significantly improves the sleep quality and work performance of night shift workers, a large new study has found.
