I was hallucinating driving home before after a barrage of 70-80 hour weeks at a gamedev startup. Of course it was on a completely empty road and it was minor things in the periphery (the sky looked like giant evil monsters duking it out), but I probably shouldn't have been on the road.
But I was at the office for 16 hours already, and there was nothing but my desk to sleep at at the office.
Before too long I ended up in the hospital for a heart attack scare (it wasn't a heart attack, but it seemed like one), and work stopped asking me to put in so many hours for a while.
The games I spent so much time and energy on didn't do so well for various reasons (unrelated to the quality of the games, I had polished them up as well as I could considering the shifting demands and firm deadlines), and the company ended up biting the bullet.
