I remember when I first started to learn C in university - we had a (relatively) large project due and I had yet to start. I convinced myself to program for something like 30 hours straight. It seems to be a bit of a badge to pull all nighters, but I can safely say that 80% of the time I spent in that stretch had no impact on my code at all. I would make stupid mistakes, and introduces more bugs trying to fix those mistakes. There comes a time when you realize that a lack of sleep not only reduces productivity, it can actually hurt your existing code base.
