How often can we pull an all-nighter until the body is irreversible damaged?
Many jobs in medicine, science, and economy require unsuitable commitment especially for early-career people. This can often lead to extension of the daily work far into the night.

Assume a 30-year-old works 8 hours a day and sleeps for 8 hours at night. Twice a week, s/he skips sleeping by pulling an all-nighter. One could try to recover from that long wake phase by sleeping a bit longer the next night. Assume the person follows this procedure for decades.

How often can this be safely done before the bodys suffers from
serious damage?
Should one stop at a certain age to prevent serious injury?
What organs suffer the most?
