Interesting, thanks for sharing! Are you generally sensitive with sleep or was this routine unusually overstimulating? Also, how close to sleep do you finish your last set?

I've been curious about this sort of routine for the last 10ish years, but I didn't have the time, energy levels, or persistence for it back then.

I have actually heard of people doing this type of thing for pistol squats or other callisthenics, but also sometimes for kettlebell and other weight lifting exercises, though it's usually more like 3-6 sets spread out throughout the day. I've heard that it's a good way to build strength very quickly because you rarely get fatigued enough to have to take whole days off for muscle recovery and DOMs, though I imagine long-term fatigue must build up anyway, just at a slower rate.

 

I am sensitive to sleep, so that’s probably the main factor, a normal person is likely to be fine.

I experimented with cardio instead, and I found a good intense one hour cardio session doing something like slack line or skateboarding felt a lot healthier.

There’s something about doing squats all day heavy that sort of messes up my hormones. Get me overstimulated.

Definitely experiment for yourself
 

but the increase sex drive is almost unnatural, I don’t know what hormone is being produced. Maybe it’s an increase in testosterone. I don’t know, but it makes it very hard to sleep.
