Not for all people, there is a certain amount of pride involved.  I once worked the entire month of December and slept in the office a lot.  Shit, I even slept under a desk at Namco's headquarters in Japan. LOL

What I remember about most of these long, difficult projects was how much I learned and grew through them.  Not great situation if you have a family, but for a time in my life it wasn't a bad thing (as unpleasant as it seemed at the time).  One project I was helping with for the last couple months tallied 7 divorces on the team by the end of it (thankfully not me).

On one particularly long, difficult project I remember driving home after 11pm every night, and I'd always turn on the BBC world news.  Listening to the war stories and horrors of what was going on in some parts of Africa at the time put my extra couple hours working on a video game in perspective.
