I don't pretend to know the inner workings of a high end raid guild, but it sounds like people get burnout and quit, then new hungry mouths take their place and the cycle repeats.
A day off doesn't need to be the solution but a suggestion, seems like Rustle has a window cutoff for tracking / FTEs that help folks relax, so maybe something similar. Maybe your guild already has some kind of 'step away from the keyboard' policy in place at times, would like to hear it if so.
I'm just trying to talk and discuss on the forum, no need to get angry / cynical.

In BDA they didn't track past certain times because they couldn't field a raid force and spending time tracking and losing mobs was too demoralizing, it wasn't some moral high ground on making sure people got to sleep or kissed their wife goodnight.
In Awakened, we can kill many of the mobs in game 24/7 (def not all but many). Awakened also has a diverse playerbase from around the world representing timezones in Asia, Europe, North/South America, and Australia -- probably other timezones too. So when one crew goes to sleep/work, there are usually other players around to help.
You mentioned you would like to hear 'step away' policies. In Awakened there are no required raids, there is no DKP decay if you want to take a break from raiding, there is no tracking requirement, and we don't track mobs unless someone volunteers to do so. Also, we have a two tier voluntary batphone system - so you can customize when you want to be informed about targets, what type of targets you want to be batphoned for, and what hours/times you want to be batphoned. I always turn off my batphone when I'm asleep/at work.
