Just because France has officially added restrictions to work-related emails after hours,Han Yi-seul-I (한이슬) Archives don't hold your breath that your government will do the same.
Instead, follow France's lead and pretend your "right to disconnect" is a law and take it upon yourself to improve your work-life balance. Added bonus, this is the perfect time for starting fresh. It's like France is looking out for your New Year's resolutions.

Study after study has shown the harm never-ending work has on our relationships, mental health and stress levels. Psychologists even have a term for our hyper-connectedness, calling it "telepressure," meaning we can't just back away from an email notification.
A study out of Lehigh University and Colorado State last year found after-hour emailing leads to burnout and added stress. Project Time Off is an entire campaign to change work-obsessed culture and has its own reports backing up the claim that over-working can be dangerous. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazetteeditorial board even just wrote about Americans needing to take time off, for real.
So, embrace the research (and have it handy to explain to any confused bosses) and apply it to your life, even if your office is far from France.
