Work less,do more.It's an attractive idea that's becoming reality for a growing number of people in Sweden,where some companies are shortening their workdays from eight hours to six or even fewer.But is it possible to finish the same amount of work in less time？
The answer depends on the person and the type of work,experts say.But plenty of evidence suggests that cutting back on hours can have many benefits,not just becau people are usually happier when they work less.If done right,shortening the workday can also improve productivity （生产效率）.
The average American works about 47 hours a week,and many people work much more than that,even though many recent studies have connected working long hours with many health problems.People who work too much are more likely to gain weight,suffer workplace injuries and develop stress-related illness.
Dealing with tho problems can end up costing companies a large amount of money,experts say.One recent study found that stress in the workplace contributes to 120，000 deaths each year and as much as 8% of health care costs in the US.
Productivity can also suffer as the day goes on and it takes even more effort to maintain the same pace.A number of studies have found that inten（紧张的）periods of mental effort can impair people's ability to solve puzzles,make decisions and control emotions.
