At my last full-time (non-contractor) job, I was there for 12 years. For 1 1/2 years I was on-call 24/7/365. I rarely got more that a few hours of sleep a night. I had to have a hysterectomy and was out for 6 weeks, as soon as I got back, everything, including on-call, got dumped back on to me. I had a series of medical complications and set-backs (my docs told me cuz I was trying to do too much too soon). And then a few months later my mom got pancreatic cancer and died, so I took some more time off then. SO, the great minds at work finally gave me some people to train in to take the load off of me and then I got laid off a couple months later.
It ain't worth it. Companies will throw you out like yesterday's trash. Do what you gotta do to keep your job, but take care of yourself. There is only one of you to your family and friends. You don't mean shit to the "company" in the long run.
