Taking to X, he wrote,“Hustle culture comes with a cost - some you incur right away and some over decades. Choice is yours, I'm just here to show you the ugly side of it so you don't get swayed easy. This is me after pulling all-nighters, sleeping for <5-6 hours, and no diet plan.”
He mentioned that working 12 hours a day isn't necessarily harmful if balanced with regular exercise, a good diet, and sufficient sleep. However, he admitted that he struggled to maintain a healthy routine, leading to issues like constant body pain and dark circles.

He commented on his post , saying,“I don't think 12 hours of work is too bad if you're able to compensate it with a regular work-out and a good diet (I hope 8 hours of sleep is also included in this routine). I have struggled to maintain a healthy routine, diet or sleep cycle. Hence, constant body pain, dark circles, etc. If you're not observing all these symptoms, you're good.”
User on X commented on his post and also gave him suggestions on how to improve health.
