HERE'S HOW LONG YOU CAN WORK BEFORE
YOUR BRAIN 1SHUTS DOWN
 
I’m having a hard time starting this article. According to research out of the  University of Melbourne, that might be because I’m middle-agedand work too  much. Economists determined that burning the midnight oil makes you, well, dumber.“Our study  highlights that too much work can haveadverse effects on cognitive functioning ,” they conclude.
Tell  us something we didn’t know. Who hasn’t, at the end of a seemingly  endless workweek, found themselves staring blankly at their computer screenor into  space unable to remember what they had for lunch, let alone form a coherent thought about the task at hand?
For some employees, of course – the average resident 2physician or, these days, that “ 3gig economy”worker who makes ends meet by bangingaway at multiple  projects – long hours are a fact of modern working life. And there’s a  cost. Medical researchers have shown that working too much can affect emp|oyees’ physica| and mental health.
So how much is too much? For people age 40 and older, working up to roughly 25 hours per weekboosts memory , the ability to quickly processinformation and other  aspects of Cognitive function,according to the study, which drew on a longitudinal survey that  tracks the well-being of 6,000 Australians. Beyond 25 hours a week , the middle-aged braindo esn’t work as well, the study indicates, noting thatthe findings  apply to both men and women.
