Are you at risk of fatigue?

Researchers from the Japanese Institute of public health have made a detailed study on the high incidence of “overwork death” in Japan. From the perspective of prevention, they listed 27 symptoms and factors of overwork. The researchers believe that more than 7 of these 27 symptoms and factors, that is, those at risk of excessive fatigue, and more than 10 of them may cause “death from overwork” at any time. At the same time, those who account for more than two items in Items 1 to 9 or more than three items in items 10 to 18 should also pay special attention. These 27 symptoms and factors are:
