The debate over working hours has long been a part of our daily discussions, further sparked by statements from Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and L&T chairman Subrahmanyan, among others. While the internet has been largely divided over the topics of work-life balance, the debate has reignited with recent remarks from millionaire and anti-ageing enthusiast Bryan Johnson. This came after Johnson decided to offer some advice to an Indian techie who appeared to be bragging about working till 4 AM.
Priyanshu Sol, a full-stack developer, took to his X handle and shared a picture from his office, showing him working on the laptop along with many other employees in the room. While Priyanshu looked quite engrossed in his work, a few of them could be seen taking a rest during the late working hours, grabbing much attention on the internet.
“It’s 4 AM guys, but builders are building. What’s your excuse?” the caption read. What appeared to be the X developer’s subtle attempt to boast about his work left many unimpressed, including Bryan Johnson, who took to the comment section and cautioned Priyanshu about the effects on his physical health. “It may feel heroic, but you’re spending down your human capacity. That posture reduces brain oxygen by 30%. The blue light suppresses melatonin, fragments deep sleep, and blunts next-day insulin sensitivity. The missed sleep raises cortisol, increases visceral fat, and decays memory,” he commented on the post.

Despite flagging key concerns, Johnson’s advice drew mixed reactions on the platform, with many stating that he should not comment on young professionals, given that he might have also put in long hours to achieve success in his early days. Some others agreed with his concerns, explaining how the work hours can be detrimental to physical and mental health. One wrote, “Sleep doesn’t matter when you’re in your 20s grinding for a better future, bro. They can sleep when they’re in their 30s,” while another added, “And not succeeding while young kills your future. Priorities are ok.”
A comment read, “Fair, but you’re only able to make this comment from the comfort of your longevity-maxed-out Venice villa because you did the same at one point.” One of the users agreed with Johnson’s advice on sleeping hours and wrote, “Savage response! But it’s true! At 31, I can confirm. Every hour of missed sleep puts a layer of fog on my brain for the next day! Sleep is super important!”
The never-ending discussions on work-life balance come at a time when modern work culture appears to have evolved to accommodate multiple schedules.
