Sure...but if you have that then your 6 hours a night 'adventure' schedule isn't going to do anything at all to make FP a concern.

There's no gap between 'you are going to burn out in less than two weeks' and 'there is zero downside to running on this little sleep indefinitely'.

Every single person who posted that they miss sleep during the week them sleep on on weekends is doing exactly that
If you've got more than 10 FP and are only running a very little short on sleep, that's possible without serious impairment per GURPS. A little more short, and you're going to collapse by Friday.

EDIT: And if you don't get to make up sleep on the weekend you are flat out not going to make it to the next one.
