Two months after beginning the new work hours, good results have been reported in Wen Zhou. New work starts at 9 in the morning, an hour later than before. But people still go back home at 6 in the afternoon.

Many people welcome the new work hours. “ With one more hour’s sleep every day, I feel much better, ” said a worker there.

Now people still work as long as before, but not from 8:00 to 6:00. They go to work an hour later but have a short lunch break. In the past they had two hours for lunch, but now they have only one hour.

Two months ago, many people got up at 6:30 a.m. every workday and left home at 7:30 a.m. it usually took them about an hour to get to the office from home. People often went to work in a hurry without breakfast, feeling very tired.

Sleep is needed for good health. Doctors say that eight hours’ sleep is good for people, but few people can sleep that long.

The use of the new work hours is just beginning. It is important for Chinese to follow hours in the world. Most foreign countries have “nine-to five ” work hours. If we don’t change, there will be problems. When Chinese start working at 8 a.m., foreigners haven’t begun business yet. But when they are busy working at noon, Chinese are still free. So some people think that it is the right time to change.
