“Not only do many Canadians suffer from increased stress and anxiety, feelings of isolation, and concerns about their mental health as a result of working from home, but the sad reality is that too few modern and remote workplaces are set up to promote healthy habits. Desk jobs involve long hours of sitting, and both the stress and excitement of a go-go-go lifestyle can lead to sleep disruption and less-than-healthy coping techniques,” according to Dialogue.
