You don't learn facts well. But you learn how to cope with extreme stress. Apparently the medical field values that. Some life-or-death surgeries are many hours long, so it makes some sense that this would be the case.

People get shot, stabbed, in car accidents, etc at all hours. So odds are that even if you avoid the planned long surgeries, you'll still have a low-sleep surgery at some point.
