@iAmNaN well, as member of a one man team, I asked that to myself. The only way to leave myself leads to drugs...

If project management is causing this due to unrealistic deadlines, stall them.
Everything over 12 hours is murder, and already 4 hours too long to stay healthy on the long run.
If you are the project management and the customer enforces such deadlines, make the rush expensive :
Hours 8-10: +50%
Hours 11-12: +100%
Hours 13-14: +250%
Hours 15+ : +1000%
(Sunday work always +100%)
Customers tend to rethink whether they are *really* in such a hurry...
Honestly, don't kill yourself! It's not worth it!
Working 18 hours per day was tough, at the beginning coffee helped a lot. However I started loosing friends and the little free time I had, I spent it drinking, lonely in anonymous pubs, trying to socialise.
Workload increased and stress started to affect me, so I began smoking weed to relax.
To recover and work with renewed energy coffee was not enough anymore, I started with pills, amphetamines, coke, crack. After the biggest deployments I would disappear for days in an opium den.
Work, it's a gateway drug.
