Workers aged over 40 perform at their best if they work three days a week, according to economic researchers.
Researchers found the cognitive performance of middle-aged people improved as the working week increased up to 25 hours a week.
The calculations suggest that a part-time job is the best balance between keeping the brain stimulated and driving it into the ground with stress and exhaustion.
"Work can be a double-edged sword, in that it can stimulate brain activity, but at the same time, long working hours and certain types of tasks can cause fatigue and stress which potentially damage cognitive functions," the report said.
