Extended work hours beyond 8 hours is great for the paycheck and great for the employer but it ain’t so great for the following reasons:

• More mistakes
• More errors
• More accidents
• Worse sleep
• Greater health risk

Try to keep your daily work limited to no more than 8 consecutive hours. If you have to work more than 8 hours, breaks make a difference in breaking up the day, giving you the opportunity to rest, the time to recharge, and refuel.

AND…double shifts work wonders for your bank account but cause all types of problems for you, your company, and your customers.
