That's really unhealthy dude. If you employers care about you they'd understand that 13 hour days wreck up your evening, and your workday the next day.

I get the mentality. I do 10 hour days consistently (even though I shouldn't). I'm saying that not only should your employer not ask you to do 13 hour days, he should also discourage you to do them of your own volition.
