I used to do the 36-38 hour thing every other week back when I was 20-21ish. Working rotating 12-hour shifts and every other weekend off..I'd get up at 5:00 pm to go to work on Thurs evening, work 7pm-7am, stay up all day Fri. and party all night and go to bed when the sun came up the next morning.

Yea, we did 16hrs a day, 7 days a week for 4 months (June-Oct )when I was in Iraq armoring up trucks. The O/T was good, but uncle Sam raped us on taxes.
