I once worked for 3 days straight (yes, full day + all nighter + full day + allnighter + full day). No exaggeration, I worked the entire time and didn't get a chance to sleep.

I can make this story worse... I did the same thing, except mine happened to be a Friday-Saturday-Sunday of a long weekend. Got out at 6pm Sunday, but back at it on Monday at 10am (the holiday).

Though, to be fair, I slept with my head on the desk for about an hour and a half each night I was there.

How did you manage to stay awake? Take anything other than caffeine to keep you up? I have spent a similar amount of time awake, not for work, just having fun, but by day 3 you feel a mess. It becomes hard to focus and you feel like a loony...everything becomes hilarious. I couldn't imagine doing it at work.
