The really bad thing is not a single 30-hour day, it’s when you’re doing a long string of 12- to 18-hour days. Sleep deprivation when well rested is actually documented to have a bunch of psychotropic effects including mild euphoria. Anyone who has stayed up long enough to get a weird sense of humour knows this first hand.
