ILLINOIS, June 27 ― New US research has found that messages and emails about work after you've clocked off for the day can increase levels of negative thinking and stress. The researchers surveyed the participants about whether they were contacted about work-related issues in non-work hours, and whether they were expected to respond to these work-related messages and emails straight away. They were also asked to complete a weekly diary for five consecutive weeks.

The participants who had this greater “boundary control” were also less likely to negatively ruminate ― which is repeated negative thinking which has been linked to health problems such as depression ― whereas those who experienced a high work intrusion showed significantly more weekly strain including negative rumination, negative emotions and insomnia.
