o Researchers at NEC-Mitsubishi say the nation's office workers are being hit by "Irritable Desk Syndrome".

o They say long working hours, cluttered desks and poor posture are making many people ill.

o Some 2,000 people were questioned as part of the survey. Of these, 67% said they are more tied to their desks than they were two years ago.
