I just want to say here, if you are a founder (or THE founder mentioned here) who works hard to the point where other people thinks you're crazy, you are NOT crazy and you are NOT wrong. I am not saying you should completely get rid of rest from your life (because otherwise you will burn out), but working hard on something you believe in and being abnormally passionate about it is nothing to be ashamed of. To OP: It's not a question of whether it is normal or not. Every startup is different. Sure, there are some mildly successful companies with founders who have "work-life balance", but the ones that are unusually successful normally have founders who are unusually obsessive.
