You'd be surprised just how quickly you can catch a second wind in the middle of the afternoon. I just completed a seminar in Atlanta over the weekend - Thursday-Monday and I THINK I got 2 hours sleep each night. Seminars from 7am-8pm, networking until 2am, catching up with work etc until 5 or 6am.
You have to remember that when you're pulling long shifts, or days awake, it's not like you're just sitting there doing nothing, you're actually working. I have the fortunate habit of being able to tell my body to sleep, and within 5 minutes, I'll be passed out, but 15 minutes I'm wide awake and ready for another 8 hours without any problem.
And yes, the 24-48 hours used to scare a few people. I became somewhat of a sideshow for one of my sisters years ago when she'd bring friends by the house etc.
My friends hate it when there's a weekend planned somewhere as by 2am they're ready to head to bed, and I'm still up and running 😉 It's definitely not for everyone (staying up all the time), but if you are productive and can remain on task, then it's a wonderful benefit!
