In recent years, some young scholars who are at the peak of their careers have passed away prematurely, causing irreparable losses, and some people call it the "early death phenomenon" of scholars. This phenomenon is especially frequent in some peak months of applying for funds or publishing papers, and many people feel that it has something to do with frequent overtime.
Young people range from 18 to 65 years old, according to the United Nations World Health Organization's age classification criteria, and these deceased scholars are the most dynamic group. They are at the age when scientific research is at its most vibrant, at the peak age of creativity and output.
But sometimes it takes a liver to create.
According to a survey released by the China Association for Science and Technology in 2016, the average working hours of scientific and technological workers are 8.6 hours, with the longest working hours being 16 hours per day, and the average daily working hours of scientific and technological workers with doctoral degrees is the longest at 9.29 hours.
In 2018, the China Association for Science and Technology released the "Fourth National Survey Report on the Status of Science and Technology Workers", which showed that the overall average work week of science and technology workers was 49.7 hours, an increase from 48.8 hours in 2013, and the situation of overtime work has intensified.
A survey of more than 7,600 postdocs from 93 countries and regions by Nature magazine found that for many postdocs, achieving work-life balance is a distant dream.
Almost all (97%) respondents work overtime on weekends and holidays, and long hours, stress and uncertainty have a serious impact on mental health.
In 2019, a team of researchers from the National Cancer Center of Japan and Osaka University pointed out that the incidence of acute myocardial infarction increased by 63% in people who worked more than 11 hours a day compared to the standard group of 7 to 9 hours a day.
At present, overtime work in the scientific community has become a common phenomenon, but in the long run, it will have certain irreversible damage to physical health.
While pursuing scientific research results
Also pay attention to your physical health
For the sustainable development of individuals and research, we should do the following:
Establish a healthy outlook and values at work
Reading to the doctorate, everyone is "someone else's child", carrying the expectations of themselves and their families, accompanied by the same excellent "peer pressure", coupled with the real work pressure and social public opinion to promote success, there are many scientific researchers who habitually overdraft their bodies just to catch up with those goals in their hearts. However, it is important to know that scientific research and scholarship is a lifelong undertaking, and it should not be wasted on sleep and food, but should be gradual.
Develop healthy lifestyle and exercise habits
The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to three scientists who studied the biological clock and its inner principles. His research results found that the disorder of circadian rhythm is greatly related to the occurrence of endocrine and metabolic diseases such as obesity and even tumors.
Therefore, regular routines, regular meals, and good sleep are essential for our good health. On this basis, develop a good habit of exercising, stretch after working for a period of time, and insist on moderate-intensity exercise for about an hour every day, which can not only improve physical fitness, but also relieve work pressure, why not.
I hope that the scientific researchers who are struggling on the road can take care of their bodies. Wishing us a healthy job until retirement,
Happy Life
