The psychologist assessed the effect of heat on human productivity

There is an interesting observation: it is more difficult to work in hot weather, because concentration decreases and productivity worsens. About this on July 11, "Gazeta.Ru" told psychologist Natalia Naumova.

"Mental operations work much worse. A person makes significantly more mistakes, the nervous system also fails — people become more irritable, aggressive, inattentive, and stressed," the specialist explained.

In addition, working in the heat, according to Naumova, leads to so-called heat stress. The human body is straining so much that survival mode is activated. Surprisingly, in this case, drowsiness and unwillingness to work may appear.

The psychologist spoke about measures to prevent such consequences of working in hot weather. She noted that it is necessary to choose low-calorie foods, engage in active activities and ventilate the room more often.
