How do you deal with the working hours

I'm an undergrad sort of dreaming of breaking into IB. Yet, the long and insane working hours are the first things that come in my mind where I might fail. Don't know whether I could stand the stress, pressure and lack of sleep and therefore wondering how you guys handle this.Appreciate any insights!
