   Absolutely - we've all been there... maybe a bit like "hanging   
   concentrating the mind"?

   LOL.   
      
   Personally, I've no recollection of "hour-80" (with minimal sleep   
   in-between), but I guess everything looks different when viewed from "up   
   there"! The longest stint that I did (with no sleep) was 52 hours, and   
   that was about 30 years ago, and I still recall most of the session!   
      
   But, IMO, these events - even one of them - might cause long-term   
   damage... Not a good investment...
