Workload varies most places. You hear stories about the allnighters, but you're not doing that all the time, and unless you're at a startup or in games it's not even very common. We talk about them because we all do them occasionally so it's a shared experience, but most of the time we work a humane schedule like everyone else, and during slow periods we get to play on the clock. Sometimes I have to work business hours, so I wake up at 9, stop working at 5 because the only reason for me to be awake in the daytime is to talk to people who are frustrating to talk to and by 5 I'm done. Otherwise, I wake up around 6 pm, pick a task or two to do, and stop whenever I finish them, usually around 1 or 2 am. I go to sleep noonish.
