I literally worked myself into the hospital when I was in my 20's. About two weeks before I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, my dad told me, "If you don't slow down, your body is going to find a way to MAKE you slow down." I was working over 100 hours per week and clearing about $2,500/week. Looking back, no amount of money was worth the time and health I lost.

My suggestion is to proceed with caution from here.

Amen, Alan.
