Hell no, I wouldn't be able to do that. I kind of do something like that now since I've been working but not really. Before I started working, I would stay up until like 12am playing PS3/PS4 and just didn't care really. Now that I'm working though, I have to get up at 2:45am, drive like an hour, and start at 5am. I get off at 1pm and go to sleep now like at 7, 8pm.
Like I said, it's nothing close to your situation but my thing is one hell of a schedule change.

Done 5 in a row and another 5 after about 2 days off.
It only messes with your head if you don't get enough sleep and don't let your body get used to it.
I found it was best to keep busy, along with take a nap during the middle of the day.
Avoiding coffee does help.

By the end of the month I would have 15k plus dean plus gas paid and I would rest for 3 weeks unless I wanted to continue working those 3 weeks but I have to see family money isn't everything, I have a friend who is a tig welder and he does less hours and he gets paid double and he works in a very comfortable shop he gets 5 to 6k per week
