Oof, yeah I regularly stayed in the studio until 2-4 am. One time I stayed overnight and had a class that morning in the same room (studio was a shared studio space with a portion used for senior illustration classes). Was asked when I got there since I was earlier than usual and I said “I haven’t left”
The longest I remember doing without sleep was 55 hours. Skipped all my classes for those days and literally only left to eat (and barely ate at that). I remember my mom was horrified when I told her I got to studio at 9pm on Sunday and left at 4am…….on Wednesday. I think I slept for like 16 hours after that.
It’s basically a constant spiral of being sleep deprived, being so tired that you get nauseous/forget to eat, and then not having eaten or slept so you have no energy to work but the deadline is the next day. A couple weeks ago I was in the studio for 36 hours and only ate once and it was bc my roommate offered to cook if I came home briefly.
