It gets complicated the more things you want to be involved in. If you have no girlfriend/wife, no responsibilities, don't care what your few friends think of you and have no ambitions to add value to the world (other than through your startup) you can go hard, day or night.
For those of us who are married, have kids, do community work, go to Church (Sundays and weeknights) etc... we have a lot more to juggle and finding quality time is very difficult. You really need to put in at least 20 hours a week to have traction so it's a case of making time (and learning to live with less sleep). There's little to no room for procrastination for people in this boat.
Of course I'm not complaining - having a wife, family, helping the community and participating in a local church are great ways to add value with your life. It's all about priorities I guess...
I guess that's one of the reasons why successful startups are an anomaly.
