And some people have family and friends, but work 12 hours a day because everyone else is. I am very happy that in the EU there are hard limits on how much you can work in certain professions, when overworking is actually dangerous to other people - like truck drivers. You can only drive for 8 hours max before having to take a mandatory 12 hour stop - and then there is another 24 hour stop that you have to take once per week. If you get caught driving longer than limited by law the fines are heavy so everyone sticks to them, and people breaking the limits cause outrage in media as creating unsafe situations on the road. Of course you can drive your own personal car for as long as you want, it's only commercial drivers who have this limitation.
