Working 70hrs a week?

For context, I work ~70-80hrs a week at a BB while my roommate works over 100hrs constantly. 

I genuinely feel like I am being lame and soft when I look at my roommate who comes home at 5am in the morning. Also feel like I am missing out on a lot as well.

i really hope this is a trollpost but if not-

actual learning ability by your brain as well as overall mental capacity falls as you go below 7.5 hours a night, and freefalls below 6. it's possible your roommate is actually learning less and is just killing his braincells. you should feel grateful you have a senior team that respects your time and doesnt require you to be on call at 3 AM, doubt the extra 20 hours of work is super meaningful anyways
