    12 hours is over the top. We used to have to pull those hours because 80% of the time we were waiting for renders.
    Shops that routinely work 10 hours and over are less efficient than 8 hour shops.
    Your brain has to slow down to survive a long day.
    If you know you’ve only got 8 hours ahead to get the job done, you burn in blue flame mode.
    You work more efficiently. You don’t feel like crap all the time and you look forward to coming to work.
    Work fast and get your ass home and have a life!

    we used to have a fold out bed in the station. (station was located in the middle of a fairly desolate bog..) First year or two, when we were manic to learn, it got used the bit. Along with red bull, & pot after pot of horrific coffee. Ah, happy days.. a time-share cot, that, over time, developed enough of a pong that the technical director of the station eventually took matters into his own hands, dragged the thing out back & heaved it into the skip. It has also been four years suince I drank red bull in a work related context. (shudder at memory..;)
