Work-related stress causes sleep and health issues for employees

Many workers in Vietnam are experiencing significant mental health challenges due to an inability to psychologically detach from work. Even after official working hours or while in bed, individuals report continuous thoughts regarding deadlines, KPIs, and pending tasks.

Case studies highlight professionals experiencing symptoms such as rapid heart rate, insomnia, decreased concentration, and memory loss. This phenomenon, described by medical professionals at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital, involves a state where the mind continues to process work-related anxieties and scenarios long after the physical workday has ended, leading to chronic exhaustion and burnout.
