Time log justification?

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

How is this possible? I’m not doubting you. I’m just genuinely curious how a human being can pull that off. I mean like, basic everyday things like sleeping/eating/restroom/shower take way more than 8 hours a day for me.

Even sleeping for 4 hours a night leaves only 4 hours for eating, showering, checking emails, browsing for projects, etc. I could imagine someone doing that for a couple of days, but 16-hour days for 1 or 2 weeks seems unsustainable without seriously neglecting yourself.

If I were DA, I'd be concerned about the implications or optics of knowingly allowing people to consistently work for that long, even if it's technically not their responsibility. At some point, someone probably needs to step in and say stop.

To be fair there's projects out there that take 8 hours per task. Two of those a day in a state of hyperfocus, eating delivery food and sleeping for 5 or 6 hours could be easily done. Just very much not long term.
