I went through a six-month period where I was working 80-120 hrs/week. All I did was eat quickly and sleep when not working.
This did permanent damage to my metabolism. Towards the end, my body temp was dropping close to 95 deg while sleeping, and a few times I had trouble waking up. Should've gone to the hospital; any lower and your body probably can't warm up on it's own. Ever since that time my normal temp is one degree lower than it was before, and I've struggled with slow and steady weight gain.
The project was a success, but I wouldn't say that I've had success as a result of that effort.
