Back in 2006 I was the designer for a monthly edited trend mag.
Each "closing" of the mag lasted around 30 hours. Living hell. And it happened during 4 years, each month...I remember hearing voices and feeling some kind of nervous glitches. Also, the day after was frequently distorted in time/cognitive aspects. Throwing InDesign / illustrator shortcuts inside my head -for example, accidentally dropping something on the floor and throwing a Ctrl+Z- was a common thing.
I was 25.

i guess 20h straight non stop/sleep. not healthy at all...became a zombie next day. it was last year too, working on some pitch.
i've heard you have only a few days to be working overnight on your life, it causes irreversible damage to your brain
- Brain damage?! Fuck it! Well worth the pitch that you probably didn't win!studderine

A few all-nighters but the worst was 9am - 5pm the following day back in 1998, then straight on to the red-eye to LA for E3... Never again.
