This is what happens when you're forced to sleep where you work to complete a project, compete with others for employment and keep your job (oh, right, sorry, I meant to say when you choose of your own free will under no pressure whatsoever from your employer to sleep at work because you love your work and co-workers so much that you can't bear to be apart from it).
I was doing that at ConnectSoft, a startup in Kirkland that built a "universal communicator" pre-Web that let you use all the existing online services of the day -- AOL, Delphi, CompuServ -- from one application.
My office mate and I were doing a project bid and we had our sleeping bags so we could sleep under our desks and work non-stop to meet deadlines. The whole building was like that...more a dorm room than an office.
At any given hour in the morning some kid (programmer) would roll out of his office, maybe in pajamas, maybe with his girlfriend still asleep in the office, and make some toast or grab a bowl of cereal in the lunchroom.
I gotta say that this is brilliant! We are launching a portable standing desk (http://zestdesk.com/) soon & I can totally relate to all of the buzz facts and figures that providers use. Thumbs up to the onion on this one.

Good fun...for a while...
