I had a weird experience where I was working night shift two nights a week while going to university. I was also writing for a MUD and my deadline was looming. A two week semester break occurred, and for that two weeks I lived in a strange four-hour sleep/wake cycle, broken only by my work shifts.

It was really strange to spend four hours writing, say from 6am, then sleep 10-2pm, get up for another four hours, sleep 6-10pm etc. Not sustainable, but was an interesting experience to have. Gave me an insight into how screwed up shift workers can get, too.
