i understand where you come from, i have boundaries on what i do. (I had a pretty bad stroke in high school b/c i stayed up one too many nights working on linear algebra...)  I usually work as hard as I feel I can while still feeling healthy. Sleep is prioritized over work, and I never push work if it means going to bed any later than 11pm/12am. i always make sure to have Saturday as a "rest day" for gaming, but every other day? Work smarter, not harder.

That was exactly my sentiment in my 20s. But you don't stay young forever. Slow down before your body and mind can't keep up any longer.

Now I exercise at least an hour a day, often 2. Feel so much healthier both in mind and body.

Just a heads-up, there's more to life than work. I basically lost all my friends from 'neglect', being too busy with work. So now I'm 50, happily live with my wife and kids, but have no friends I ever hang out with. The internet is my only social outlet. Not as bad as it sounds, or so I tell myself. Hence I have a lot of extra time for gaming!
