Have you tried to measure if this is true for you? The idea that one can't focus for 40 hours isn't simply based on feeling, but evidence.

Yeah from what I've read, people who work longer feel more productive but in reality they're less productive. I would guess it's from your stress hormones constantly being engaged.

This also jives with my experience noticing colleagues. The least productive people I've worked with have worked the longest hours.
