Just for the heck of it, I signed on to be an extra on a pretty well known tv show that filmed in my area. It was a at least a 12 hour day (but IIRC it was more like 18, but its been while now). As an extra, most of that was spent sitting around and waiting. The crew on the other hand were mostly on their feet the ENTIRE time and were still going even after all the extras were dismissed. Many of them were doing laborious tasks, others like the show runner, are running a million miles a minute the whole time. And from what I gathered, this was basically the norm, while shooting the season which can last for months.
