This question is about signs you are overworked.

How many work hours is unhealthy?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

55 or more work hours a week is unhealthy. Recent studies have found that when people work more than 54 hours a week, on average, their risk of stroke and dying of heart disease goes up significantly.

However, everyone is wired differently, so working 45 hours a week may be just as unhealthy for some. In addition, even if you don't have a stroke or heart attack, working so much that you don't have a healthy work-life balance is bad for your mental and physical health in many other ways.

So, make it a priority to keep your working hours to a level that allows you to take care of your private responsibilities, spend time with family and friends, and take time to rest.
