Exactly. I've also worked at plenty of projects that I really cared about and eagerly went the extrs mile. I sometimes worked in the evening or even the weekend. I've even stopped freelancing and took a massive pay cut to become an employee to stay at a project I wasn't ready to leave yet. But I always slept in my own bed. My extra work was mostly from home. The one bad idea was the massive pay cut, and that was a temporary situation (that I justified by considering it an investment to get more experience in a leadership role). I don't naturally tend towards workaholism (unlike my wife), but when a job is sufficiently interesting and engaging, I do put in extra work, but it also makes me wary that I shouldn't mske that the new standard; it's always an exception.
