A drive to the west coast can be done in 48 hours. I won't say you'll
be awake afterwards. More sane folks spread that 48 hours across 5 or
more days. With multiple drivers one can be sleeping in the back
while the other drives, so you spend a  continuous time span on the
crossing.

If you grossly exceed the speed limits you can cut the time down a
bit more...assuming your vehicle will handle high speeds for  such an
event.
