Does anyone know of or has anyone on TechNet done any studies relating
efficiency and actual increase in productivity to increased hours worked?

At what point does the number of extra hours put in per day, times the
number of consecutive days they are put in, begin to cause the increased
number of errors and defects generated to wipe out any extra production
achieved by working the extra time?  In other words, what is the point of
diminishing returns?

Does anyone have or know where I can find data correlating  to 8, 10, 12,
14 or even 15 hr days? For 3, 4, 5, or 6 straight days?

TIA
