Vacations are really important. Your brain needs exercise, rest and relaxation. Those people who work 24/7 are actually psychologically ill. (24/7 was a term used during the dot com era. It means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.)
Almost all of us push beyond a 40 hour week when we are meeting a deadline, finishing a movie, presenting the design, whatever. But some people have begun to equate working all of the time to being a good employee. Often, the person is working that hard so no one else discovers that (s)he makes too many mistakes or is stealing money.
If you are forcing your employees to work over 40 hours, you are setting yourself up for the mistakes that come from being too close to something to see the fatal flaw.
SO GO PLAY. If you can not play internationally, play locally. BUT GO PLAY.
