Absolutely. Tired people make mistakes, and undoing mistakes is far more costly than not making them in the first place. This capitalistic idea of work over everything else as a way of climbing your way up the career ladder is a very useful tool for employers to exploit their workforces.

As John Lennon (supposedly) said:

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
