I've worked various jobs, but the most grueling one was at a glass factory. I worked for 4 years at the factory; part of it swing shift, part straight days, and part straight afternoons. I was mentally understimulated and depressed for various reasons. Working swing shift screwed up my sleep schedule, probably for the rest of my life. The upside is that I can go significant times without feeling tired. I think the longest stint I was awake was 38 hours with one hour of sleep.

I wouldn't want to do it again, but it made me thankful for the job and skills I have now.
