The longest I ever stayed up was roughly 170 hours. Or almost 8 days.
Back in my meth days. At day 3 (same as you) I started hallucinating. And these were no 10-20-30 hits of acid hallucinating. These were things I have never even dreamed possible. Slamming on my brakes in the middle of a freeway because a giant spider web stopped me. You get the picture.
I remember 6pm at night on the 8th day. About to go to a rave and stay up another 2 days.
I all the sudden looked in the mirror just before I was about to go out and collapsed to the ground.
I woke up in the hospital and was diagnosed by 3 different doctors with: Pneumonia Bronchitis Strep Throat and Influenza all at the same time. Needless to say I ended up having to stay in the hospital for 2-3 months after I relapsed with Pneumonia again. I havent touched any "white shit" since that day (14 years ago) and realized the extreme importance of sleep.

Is it really better/faster to drive as far up as possible when coming to a lane closing?

ie "the zipper effect"?
