I’m not sure that’s experimentally rigorous, but go for it.  My guess would be that 8-hour workers waste more time, or work at a slower pace to avoid wearing out, and so the experiment will prove their theory.

Hint to 8-hour workers: slow down if you ever want to go to 6 hours.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
