I wonder if anyone have actually done the experiment? When you are doing a startup, you want to work as much as possible, however it might very well be that you would be just as productive if you worked just 40 hours.

I'd be very interested in seeing such a study. I think the answer lies in not just how hard you work, but how smart you work; i.e. monitoring your productivity and adjusting various factors (length of time, time of day, etc.) to maximize productivity.
