~~FYI~~

   The expression burn the candle at both ends simply means not taking anytime to relax.

Situation: Mary meets Jane at the restaurant.

Mary: Hi, Jane! Sorry to keep you waiting.
Jane: No problem, Mary, but...you look terrible. 
Mary: Do I? Oh, don't worry about me. I'm okay.
Jane: No, you're not. I think you need to stop burning the candle at both ends. 
          You can't work all day and then party all night, you need to take a break!
