Many CEOs/entrepreneurs work more than 16 hours a day. Elon Musk works 120 hours a week, this translates to 17 hours a day 7 days a week. If you do this for long periods of time it may land you in a hospital. Which is why you will hear of ceo's dying of heart attacks at an early age. The stress of working long hours can kill you.
If you are working 12-16 hours a day it will impact your health one day. It also depends on what you do in the remaining hours in the day. Obesity, Diabetes, Heart problems are common diseases here. The damage could be fatal. The signs show up after 10-15 years of working. Such people are also called workaholics.
8-12 hours a day is probably most common in India. 9 to 6 pm are common working hours. People travel to work 1-2 hours one way. So most folks leave home at 8am and reach back home by 8-10pm. Some people reach home & start working again.
Less than 8 hours a day you will get unemployed soon. These are mostly govt jobs or large MNCs which function like the Govt.
