Thanks for the advice, yes I am a culprit for a fair bit of this behaviour. Today's been my most "day off" day for 16 days now. I'm also finding that the only time I have to write code is when everyone else is sleeping... so taking corrective actions there. For scheduling, we use a trello board and it's a pick up as you go situation. I'm not sure how I could restrict that and I really like the simplicity of it so don't want to throw it away for another solution. The 2/3 days off for everyone is an interesting concept. I'm doing a bunch of policy changes at the moment (hence the question), it's something I'll keep on the cards.

No problem! I've been in a sort of similar situation myself and I know it can be hard; this is one of many "do as I say not as I do" situations that you'll probably find yourself in. If people are aware that you're often up at odd hours hammering away at stuff, maybe just communicate that you don't have this expectation of them, and that you would strongly prefer they didn't follow suit (or whatever messaging would be appropriate for your situation). I'm sure folks would understand and hopefully get the message and if not at least it's a starting point. Either way, good luck and thank you for thinking of your employee's wellbeing!
