Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
For many people, working from home, or W FH ', has also come to mean W FB ' -workina from bed.
Getting dressed and commuting to an office has been replaced by splashing wate and cracking open a computer as you settle back under your blanket.
A staggering number of people are setting up shop on their mattresses. According to a 2020 study, 72% of 1,000 Americans surveyed said they had worked remotely from their bed during the pandemic - a 50% increase since the start of the crisis. One in 10 reported they spent "most or all of their workweek" - 24-to-40 hours or more - in bed. T his is especially true of young workers; in the UK, workers aged 18 to 34 are the least likely to have a proper desk and chair, and are twice as likely to work from bed than older workers.
But WFB isn't just for lack of a proper chair - many simply love the cosiness and ease of the set-up. On Instagram, the #Work From Bed hashtag pulls up thousands of photos, many of them featuring smiling people snuggled up in their pyjamas with cups of coffee, maybe even breakfast on a tray.
But the reality is that turning your bed into your office can trigger a slew of health problems, both psychological and physical. And even if you don't notice them now, adverse effects - possibly permanent - could emerge later on in life.
