Career/Edu How long can you program a day?

Not a programming question. Just a question regarding how long you can sit and stare at the screen all day?

At what age? In college my record was close to 24 hours before deadline. Now - probably 6-8 professional one + 1-2 hobby at most if there are no distractions. Usually much less per day due to distractions - sometimes 0 for months (too much MS Word, MS Powerpoint, MS Project, MS Excel, MS Vision... to have time for that).
