What’d they say? ..I-I mean, if you don’t mind me asking.”
“Well…I mean, you’ve probably heard this from other people, but your work’s not going to get done all that much faster or better if your sleep schedule gets all wrecked from trying to do it all at once, trust me.” He would know better than most people, he thinks–although that might also be kind of arrogant of him to presume.

in my line of work can be dangerous, if done at the wrong time.
