I think that we can’t work more than8 hours a day/40 hours a week,  if we want to live a normal life!

We need40min for breakfast,40min for lunch,30min to digest after lunch,30 minutes for gym, 1 hour for bus or car or walk to go to work, etc.,2 hours for hobbys,2 hours to go out and/or see friends or to talk with your family,1 hour to cook healthy food (vegetables, etc.). So11 hours to make all that +6 hours to sleep. There are so just8 hours to work!

Working More Than8 Hours A Day Can Kill You

I currently work freelance.
This means sometimes I don't have anything to work on even if I want to, in which times I try to get some personal marketing done to attract new clients.
Other times, all of my clients are active, and since I service up to 4 different time zones, I end up working more than 100 hours a week.
Yes than means very little or no sleep on some days.
Fortunately, by body has been trained to have a weekly sleep pattern and to get some rest when I can.
I don't work on weekends -- it's reserved for my family.

48 hours is the official answer according to 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM working hours defined by the company, but as being responsible for critical operations, tasks & project, you can never leave on-time.
So I end up seating 1 hour (on average) extra every day, so in total it makes it 54 hours a week.

Definitely more than 50 hours, but what's important is that you enjoy and learn from it on a daily basis! :)

On my contract, it states 35 hours, but in this competitive world, you work the hours you need to to get the task completed.
45-50 hours quite anticipated and if you have a work Blackberry, it's a never ending story!
