The 24/7 expectation is finally breaking me

tbh I don't know how much longer i can do this without losing my mind. Just got woken up at 3:30am by a partner forwarding an email from a london client about a non-urgent diligence issue.

I was grabbing drinks last week with a law school friend who does plaintiff work now, and he was casually mentioning how they just dump all off-hours intake and calls to Alert communications so their team can actually, you know, sleep like normal people.

Meanwhile im expected to be a human pager for a deal that isn't even signing for another month. the golden handcuffs are feeling real tight tonight. Anyone else just staring at the celing right now trying to force yourself back to sleep?
