 ...and that is exactly why.  The worst feeling in the
world is when
it's
late, you're tired, there's no place comfortable to sit and you've
been
standing for hours, you want to go home, and you have no idea why
the
system isn't working.  Screw that. 
The thing I could never get management to understand is that a) 3am means
that if something goes wrong later on in the production morning, you've
got a bunch of zombies trying to do complex troubleshooting, and b) at
3am with absolutely nothing happening, it's pretty hard to tell if something's
going to work right under a load.
