The lack of sleep paired with prolonged stress, especially over 2 years, can have some serious repercussions. Could you guys shed some light on how the hours have affected your body, habits, thoughts/emotions, and skin/hair?
Thank you!

This has been covered ad nauseam. WLB initiatives / salary boosts / the famous analyst 13 says it all
They certainly don't help...
Yeah wtf, sleeping less than 8 hrs
Everyone responds differently.
My associate friend kept in decent shape as an A2A - did a lot of cardio in the morning. Didn't balloon up but wasn't someone who worked out constantly.
Know a MD at one of the top banks that got promoted very quickly (7 years made MD which is almost unheard of, not a rainmaker but was a superstar VP/D from what it seems), guy looks younger now than when I first met him when he was was a MBA student (family friend). Granted he has more than one kid and travels constantly. Super discipline guy.
On the other hand, know of a few whose physical health deteriorated very badly during their analyst years and family histories and their unhealthy sleep schedule caught up to them - hypertension, gaining weight etc.
Neck and back pain, sleep deprivation impact on brain and mental health, weight gain, stress
