We should kill the 40-hour work week

But is it not also true that cognitive function declines if you work more than 25 hours a week for those _under_ 40 also? In fact, isn't it true that cognitive function declines after only 10 minutes of focussing on a single problem!

My main wonder: Why did they limit the study to persons over 40 only?

Oh, well, I can always take solace in

1st sentence of introduction of the fine paper:

"Many countries have already increased their retirement ages by delaying the age at which people are eligible to start receiving pension payments."
