6 health problems for late night workers

Filed under: Productivity — admin @ 10:08 am

If you are one of those who go no life and a bit workaholic, then beware, you could be landing yourself soon in serious health problems. Late night working is actually very much harmful to body but it is something we can’t avoid to cope up ourselves in his web 2.0 era. If you are working late nights, this are the sure potential problems which can attack your body :

1. Obesity – If you work too much in front of computers and dont have proper control on diet, this is one thing you will notice around your stomach :) This gives rise to fat level, cholesterol , Blood pressure problems, etc.

2. Soar eyes – working late nights exposed to bright light can lead to soar eyes. Also it can cause defects like near sightedness (myopia) or far sightedness (hyper metropia). Vision defects. Check your eye vision regularly if you work late nights.

3. Insomnia ! – This is one thing i was hit by last week. I just couldn’t sleep properly after mid-night 4 o’clock. With great trouble i got sleep and found head paining in morning. Actually late night work got me in such a frenzy that i couldn’t sleep. Late nights can lead to dysfunction in proper healthy sleep. Remember, sleep is actually very much essential for body rest or else you get prone top several health problems.

4. Heart problems – More late night works, more running of heart. Heart needs rest too. while you sleep, heart beats slowly actually giving it self rest. If you work late nights, it gets no rest and pumps more blood for body. This can even lead to heart problems like heart attack (There seems to be only 1 major heart problem !). Don’t panic, take it easy.

5. Back pain – This is another worst thing i was lately hit by. My back pained a lot all day as i typed a lot on keypad in odd positions. Sitting for 8-10 hours can lead to such arm and back pains. Better do exercises like running, jumping and other normal exercises. Something like ‘yogasan’ works fine.

6. Digestive problems – This includes acidity, constipation, etc which all occur due to late nights and irregular working schedules. To digest your food and keep your stomach clean (yeah), you need to do work out. Labors don’t need to do all these because they do that in their work while white collar job workers and online worker/freelancers do need to do it. Best is to eat fruits 1 time and take full meal another time. Don’t stuff your stomach with heavy meal as it will cause digestion problems to body.
