I definitely couldn't do it. After about a week, my body would just crash/go to sleep by itself, world be damned. Same, or rather, worse, when working 12 hours a day for more than ~2 weeks. I just start thinking "what the fuck am I doing? Why is this worth it?", and if it's not worth it it would just drive me into a serious depressive mood. Maybe because I know I could do better than this, that there are other options. Maybe it's because I made peace with death already. But I think it's just that I'm physically not made for this kind of overload.

Lack of sleep amplifies stress. That's why people argue more frequently and are more easily agitated when they're sleep deprived. A lot of the people who say this doesn't affect them seem to be bored video gamers with no career focus and no stress. I feel like they'd feel it too if they had to work 12 hours a day and had some moderate stress.
