Kind of related - I tried the 28 hour day / 6 day week when I started my PhD.
I could still code but I couldn't do theory - turned that part of my brain off like a switch.
And even though I only did it for 1 or 2 weeks it took more than month for me to get back to feeling normal.
It turns out a lot of systems in the body like that 24 hour thing. I'm glad I stopped before my digestive system got angry :)
Still kind of glad that I tried it because a) I know I won't try anything like it when stakes are higher and b) the amount of discipline it took was roughly equivalent to the amount of discipline it takes to time manage myself to peak productivity on a regular sleep cycle.
