<without drugs!> 
DH had an unusual work assignment last night. He's a field engineer which means periodically going to sites where he has a project to get things installed (this is my generic description of what he does). Anyways, he is currently working on a project at a data center, and they don't want to risk running operations on a generator any other time than the middle of the night.
So, he can't make himself nap yesterday and just plows through, working from 9:30 p.m. last night until 10 a.m. this morning. He took a 10 minute nap today, but otherwise, he is wide awake still! Essentially, he's been up for 36 hours straight and seems perfectly fine.
I would definitely be crashed out by now. I have no tolerance for not sleeping, and I have no idea how he is doing this. How long can you stay awake before you crash and burn?
