Is it unhealthy to work 7 days a week?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

If your job is enjoyable and you are not tried after doing it then it is okay to do it for 7 days a week and only take a break sometimes. Beware that if you are always at work that you'll become a social outcast and lose any edge/knowledge you may have in a topic (ex. music). Also if you are in a job were you stay where you work you may not have the opinion to take a day off and therefore after a period of time will become use to or extremely restless with the fact that all you see is your work.
If your job is not fun for you do not work seven days a week because your mental if not physical will become bad -unhealthy. Consider finding a new job or take the weekends or at least Sunday or Saturday off.

Answer 3

Actually it really depends on what you do for a living, how many hours, and how you are. Sometimes what people say are or aren't good for others aren't necessarily true for everyone. If you work a light job for a few hours a day, I'd say it's pretty healthy because it's something productive you do daily, but there are alot of factors to take into consideration in deciding things like this. For instance, people told me that it were unhealthy to sleep for less than 8hrs a day, working too much would make you stress out, and that all this would cause breakouts, but what happened to me was quite the contrary. In keeping, myself productive, I always had something to do which I found great, sleeping less actually makes me more alert and all this made me more successful in what I wanted to do, plus I didn't breakout as much as when I had nothing to do and slept on for long hours.

Answer 4

I think it depends on how many hours you do but I know that when I do a 7 day week (8-9 hours Mon - Fri and 6 hours Sat and Sun) I am absolutely shattered during the week.

Your body needs rest. So yes it would be unhealthy.

Answer 5

Depends what you job is and how many hours you work per day. I've worked 7 days a week for long stretches but everyone needs a break.

So, I would say to work 7 days a week from time to time is fine but in the long run you should have other interests beyond just work.

Answer 6

As long as you get enough rest in between jobs no it's not. I have worked for many years 7 seven days a week sometimes fewer, but mostly 7. I work from home and have an outside job as well and enjoy being busy, not overwhelmed and there is a difference you will have to establish yourself.

Answer 7

I would say yes, unless it's a low-stress job you absolutely love. But for most of us who work just to earn a decent living, 7 days a week is not good. You need the R & R that comes with having a day or 2 off a week just to rejuvenate for the following week. Too much work can cause too much emotional stress which leads to all sorts of health problems (lack of sleep, stomach distress, headaches...etc).

Answer 8

In my early 20's I worked 7 days a week for 4 years. The only way to get a day off was to work someone else's shift (pull a double, we called it) and then they would work one of your days. This was in the Oklahoma oil boom. The first thing that goes is the day. You never know if its Tuesday or Friday. Its all the same.

Answer 9

Yes it is UNHEALTHY, because the body needs rest to re-energize itself. The body is not designed for continuous work, without breaking down. You run an electrical motor 24/7, and sooner , or later that motor is going to get burnt out. Humans can get burnt out too, in a similar way.

Answer 10

It depends on what your job is and if you really have to work hard....do you get long breaks in between which you can relax? it also depends on how many hours you work in a week....if its just 4 hours a day, then i think it should be okay.....if you're working full time 7 days, then i think its unhealthy....but, for me, no matter how many hours i work, its always best to set a day off for yourself to relax and do the things you want =)...please take care of yourself

Answer 11

The only way it can be unhealthy is if you do not get a chance to rest. Spend some free time each day resting, and you will be ok.
