In episode 53 we chat about a paper by Seulki "Rachel" Jang, Ho Kwan Cheung, & Michael Ford. In a study of over 100 workers, they found that feeling like your company cares about health and wellbeing predicts feeling less exhausted and, in turn, fewer insomnia symptoms. However, they found that this was not the case for people with high BMI. We talk a bit in our episode about limitations of the BMI, especially at an individual level, but if you want to know more we provide the link to two other podcast episodes by maintenance phase below.
