A pattern of I've noticed in the careers of the ambitious: work long hours when you're getting started (when you both can and must), and 4 hours a day when you're established (when you can't and needn't).

Perhaps if you were extra-ambitious and lived super healthily, you could continue to work long hours after you were established. I'm not sure about that.

Replying to @paulg
Warren Buffett is a good example of someone who continued to work long hours after he was established. Another example is Euler. Both were ambitious, certainly; but ambition is not the only driver of work obsession. For some people, the work itself is its own reward.
