Thank you for knowing more than me about how I’ve felt when I’ve got 30 hours without sleep

ah, that's amazing, some superheroic stuff. Crazy what the human body and brain can achieve with practice beyond limits. Do you have sugar/caffeine too intermittently during these work hours or is it just adrenaline/chronic stress

This, I don't understand. Surely, anything above even 15+ hours of concentration is counterintuitive, right? Like, what about the loss of focus, accuracy, and drowsiness? Maybe 24 hours is doable since they've had a lot of practice, but 36 hours is insane.
Like, I start going delirious and dissociating from reality at 30 hours mark (without any stimulant drugs), can't imagine a surgeon not tripping balls from the sleeplessness haha.

It makes you lucky tbh! It means even with little amount of caffeine you get a big benefit
