過労死(かろうし)Karoushi
Gosh man! what is this. This is what we call Work Until You Die.
We can over work until we get killed. Well as I always say, there is a time to rest, work and everything. Shouldn't eat into each allocated time slot. If the the homeostasis mechanism will go bizarre.

Bereaved Japan mother angered by deadly overwork
TOKYO - A JAPANESE woman hit out at corporate bosses this week, after her restaurant manager son died of a brain haemorrhage having done 200 hours of overtime in a month.
The case is the latest of hundreds of deaths a year officially determined to have been caused by the hardships of working for Japanese companies, where overtime is a matter of course and holidays few and far between.
