Work in an industry where software quality is critical to life or health. Those industries tend to take quality very seriously and as a result, manage it better. This means that the management tends to see that working weekends/late nights is a problem that needs to be fixed.

I work in medical devices (non-implantable); people I know at other companies in the sector say it's pretty much the same way: occasional crunch time, but generally a 9-5 job. I knew someone who wrote software for real (as in full-motion) aircraft simulators and company policy was to enforce a 35-hour work week because software quality went down after that.

The flipside is that work life can be tedious and procedure-driven. When you need a committee's OK to change a single line of code, you can find yourself being stressed out in a completely different way :-)
