I don't know about nonreligious; but it sure as heck is unhealthy!
Over working and not getting enough rest is counter productive!
So, go take a break, already!?

Yes if by much working he/she neglected the obligation of his/her religion such as not praying at all or not on time , not maintaining good relationship with family,relatives,neighbours and friends,did not pay religion's taxes and help others etc
But it will not automatically unreligious if he/she always obeys the instructions and prohibitions of Allah the only one God during or along his/her works.The religion does not prohibite someone to work hard and be a rich man/woman.Islamic religion instructs us to work hard in pursuing the God's subsistence or livelihood in this world.

Yes, it is against what Islam recommends. Islam tells us to keep harmony in everything we do. We are not supposed to overdo anything. Once a person came to prophet Muhammad (sm) and mentioned his intention of fasting the whole year and praying all the time. Our prophet (sm) simply said no.
Remember, sleeping is also considered as Ibadah, if you sleep according to Islam and don't miss out obligatory duties. I think, as sleeping and resting is necessary for our body to keep fit, it would be disallowed for us to overwork and miss sleeping.

Some how I think it is religious, and that is in the Koran as he asked his followers to spend almost all the night or half of the night awake and prying and then wake up again in early morning hours and pry Fajer e.t.c. I think it is hard to do that if you work 9-5.

Not at all, as long as you perform your prayers and there is nothing wrong thinking of God while working. Start your day with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim and then continue your work and at the end of the day say Alhamdulillah to have got you through this. God will understand.

:D
you mean working 15 hours a day and 7 days a week with no overtime claims?
sometimes its just the responsibility. I love what I do so its easy to spend so much time at work.
I know its not good but its better than sitting at home looking at the walls.

Yes it is. Your body and mind have to be capable of worshiping and serving God. Getting absorbed in your work keeps you from doing other things like reading your bible, fellowship, building relationships with others, spending quality time with your family, being able to fulfill your regular duties as a wife, daughter or friend. Work shouldn't be a distraction. God wants us to work as if we were working for Him, but also make sure you have time for Him and your family.

If that work is for a good cause, well it can't be for life. But if its for overtime to get the Ferrari U dream of, this is greed. Is greed OK in any religion? Aren't we supposed to be grateful for the little we have? I love to have a Ferrari, but wont kill myself to have it.

Lack of sleep is not good for our bodies which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are to take care of our bodies since they belong to God.
If one puts work above God, it's wrong. We are to put nothing above him.

You could think of it this way. God gave his best for us and if we are tired we can't give Him our best. If we work too much when do we have time for God? He wants our best time which is the first hour of the day. He loves the first things. He said Love Him first.
