So you are saying you did spent something like 36 hours awake in a row without negative side effects?
Yes, there were negative side effects, but these didn't include having to sleep 36^2/32 hours in a row to catch up.
(Edit: what happened is I slept six-ish hours in a row as soon as I hit a bed, waking up in the afternoon, then I reverted to my ordinary sleep schedule except the first couple nights I went to bed about an hour earlier than usual.
Then that's not directly relevant to what I'm arguing. I'm speaking about the amount of sleep in a stable schedule that you need to feel alright.
I'm not sure that your brain processed all the experiences during that longer awake period in a healthy way and formed memories for those that should stay in memory.
