Never did that many hours underway, more like 84 but only got 6 hours in my rack at a time, always half a sleep on watch and you always needed to find time to do PMS on your equipment. That was back in the 80's and 90's.

And it's not really 100 hours of work. During your "100 hour work week" there's downtime to read a book, play spades, watch movies, work out, eat, chill, take smoke breaks, whatnot. It's not like sailors are shoveling coal into boilers for fourteen hours a day nonstop.
