Somebody worked double shifts so you’d have choices. Make one that’s worth their overtime.

Choices you have now were paid for in hours somebody else will never get back. That is not a debt you are meant to feel crushed by, and it is worth being aware of when you are deciding casually. Knowing what your options cost tends to make you choose more carefully rather than more anxiously.

When you are weighing something significant, think about what the person who made it possible would want for you, which is usually not martyrdom. Then choose on the merits and commit properly. The way to honor that work is to use the freedom, not to apologize for it.
