Holy shit, I watched 'Freddy' and didn't sleep for 4 days.
Then I watched 'Jeepers Creepers' during my childhood. As I walked along the road in my village, I started looking at the sky, wondering if that ghost would fly. I began to run in fear.
And then, I watched the original Dracula movie with high volume. I didn't sleep for two days and kept the lights on until morning.
If you write 8 hours of concentrated code a day, you won't ever need to do crunches like the 20 hours you mentioned. Also web dev is a "easier" space than let's say game development. Besides after 8-10 hours your brain won't function as efficient anymore, meaning you start to waste your time because you get less done for the same amount of time.

Probably not something they do by choice (and I dunno who does this day to day, i wouldn't. It will F you up gradually.). Sometimes you have to do things to get things done. If you have passion for what you do, that helps as well. Often times, you will have to force yourself. Not everything in programming is pretty and cool.

Perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nootropic. However, further indepth discussion about it may entail a medical angle and that may violate BHW rules.
However, one can always do one's own research to know more about the same.

I am not a programmer but it's interesting to read the comments.

I love to watch horror movies. However, what I'm currently doing is screaming very loudly while watching those. As a result, my scares go away..

Modafinil can be used by anyone, who wishes to work late, stay awake, enhance their cognitive reactions, as per :-
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3286657
And enables you to stay awake for 40+ hours with close to full mental capacity with few side effects, as per :-

HOWEVER, as noted by other members any further in-depth discussion about it, would involve a medical aspect and for that, consult your local medical expert, do not take any action based on someone merely mentioning about it on any forums, etc.
