Exhaustion and lack of sleep has taken a toll on The Block couple, Jason and Sarah.
As well as shedding 14 kilos due to the physical work and change in diet, Jason has struggled with a lack of energy.
It means he’s been heavily criticised by foremen Keith and Dan for not working hard enough during the renovations.
And it’s also not sitting well with his wife Sarah.
Chatting to TV WEEK, Sarah, 45, admits she wishes she’d seen a more energetic side to her husband during the series.
“I know that the lack of sleep has really gotten to him,” Sarah says.
“So I feel like I’ve had to really had to crack the whip and nag because he’s dead to the world or dead on his feet some days.”

In fact, Sarah admits being the one to take charge during the build has been “a little bit frustrating at times”.
“I know he’s trying his hardest, it’s just this sense of urgency that I have that not everyone else feels and that’s been hard,” she explains.
“When you’re in this kind of situation, I think some days you get under each other’s skin especially when you do get overtired and I know Jason has been sick for a couple of weeks with some chesty virus thing so he was getting really cranky and stressed.
Meanwhile Jason is the first to admit he does find it difficult working the long hours.
“I can’t do it, I can’t stay awake,” he says.
“I’m no longer 30 and I can’t work like that anymore. When you watch it on TV, there is no actual way in the world you get to see what it’s actually like. You see it’s hard but you don’t think it’s what it is.”
