FLEXI - LIVING You could have opted for flexitime at work years ago, but now you're faced with flexi-living. What's that? It's going to the supermarket at midnight to do your weekly shopping. It's checking your bank account on the internet at three o'clock in the morning and doing a bit of e-trading at dawn. It's when your time of work merges with the time of rest, the day blends with the night … and you haven't even noticed it.
Yes, nowadays everything is 'all-night'. All-night shopping, all-night discoing, all-night television. Staying up all night is bad for you. In the morning you feel tired, confused and stressed out. So, stop being so flexible. Go to bed and switch off the lights! | |
