Weird because I've seen loads of people act like this. It's very common among uni students studying almost any subject from my experience. I guess you associated with different people than I did.

I don't think it's a good idea or healthy but it definitely happens, especially at universities and startups. I used to do it on client projects too until I wised up. Though looking back on my code from back then I still achieved some pretty crazy stuff in that time. Pushing the boundaries of what I was capable of. There is an upside to being completely immersed even though I wouldn't do it these days because I value my health.
