A new study finds that women tend to snack more and exercise less when pulling overtime. They also tend to smoke more and drink more caffeine. This causes weight gain and declining health. Men don't seem to get the munchies when they work overtime. Both men and women tend to drink less alcohol when they are working a lot of overtime.
To combat the ill effects of overtime, companies are encouraging exercising and healthy snacks: fruit, low-fat yogurt, low-fat crackers. A company mentioned in the article compensates employees $75 per month for exercising one and a half hours each week.
