I also did Uberman, a few times, for a few weeks at a time. The first week was always rough but once you get beyond that I felt like I was Superman.

It didn't last forever though. For me I was young and trying to fit work in with going out at night and perfecting my social skills. But once I had a partner, I found myself missing us sleeping together at night, and the long night hours being productive a little lonely compared to cuddling in bed. So I gave it up.

Of course pilots are in a different world. I don't think that would be a great idea.

I felt like Superman, too. My SO later told me I was more like stupid-man. It was still early enough in our relationship that she wasn't comfortable saying such things to my face.
I tried it for a few weeks and felt really unproductive. I think it is similar to being drunk. A lot of drunk people think they are awesome when they really aren't.
