Fumin Fukyū
When you do something without sleeping or resting, it is referred to as 'fumin fukyū' (不眠不休) in Japanese.
'Fu' (不) is a negative prefix, 'min' (眠) means "to sleep," and 'kyū' (休) means "to rest."
Therefore, 'fumin' (不眠) means "no sleep," 'fukyū' (不休) means "no rest," and the combination means "no sleep no rest" or "without sleep or rest."
Basically, this idiom is used to express that someone makes an effort without rest to achieve something.
However, if you do something without sleep or rest, you cannot concentrate on it, so it is not recommended.

不眠不休
眠ったり休んだりせずに何かをすることを、日本語で「不眠不休」と言います。
「不」は否定語、「眠」は "to sleep"、「休」は "to rest" を意味します。
このため、「不眠」は "no sleep"、「不休」は "to rest" を意味し、「不眠不休」は "no sleep no rest" という意味になります。
基本的にこの熟語は、何かを達成するために休まず努力することを表す際に使います。
ただ、実際に休んだり眠ったりしないと集中力がもたずパフォーマンスが下がるので、おすすめはできません。

There isn't anything wrong with the way you wrote it. Adding word "fully" or "entirely" implies that someone couldn't focus as well on the task as they could if they had rested. >~.^<
