Many artists of the past painted people in poses they could not have held for very long. The paintings were meant to convey a transitory moment. (I was studying Rubens' Saint George and the Dragon the other day, which I have attached as one example.)

I wouldn't avoid painting smiles simply because people can't hold one for thirty hours. The model for Saint George didn't hold his arm in the air for thirty hours either.
