Make friends with the office gossip. Blame talking to them when you need a quick excuse.
I have more but I'll stop.
Fwiw I have been working on crunch deadlines probably 10 years now. This is how I found to stay sane.
Good luck!

Take 5-8 bathroom breaks daily. Drink tons of water.

If they won't respect your time, you dont have to respect theirs. Find ways to take time in the day. I like taking many, many 20-30 minute breaks in my day. No one ever notices, sometimes even during crunch. Also use a lot of PTO when the crunch ends. If no end to crunch, start using PTO on Tuesday.
