8 straight? I've done it if you don't count the lunch my wife put in front of me that I didn't remember eating. There is also some value to taking a break. I've walked away from some problems that made may head hurt - only to solve them while playing foosball. Once I was playing foosball while the site was down. Someone walked in, quite unhappy about seeing the dev team playing when he thought we should have been fixing. Explaining that we couldn't do anything about it - ops had server issues that we could not help with. There is a time to work and a time to play. I find I'm best with 2-3 hours of work without distraction.
