This was leg two of a continuous duty period pairing.  Flows; checklist; and SOP were followed while parked at the gate. These included and were not limited to: the route verification; departure procedure including the briefing pages.  I even went as far as placing a radius disk at the JFK 4 NM.  We discussed in length the Breezy Point climb on the JFK 1 departure.  When we were departing the ramp via V for Runway 31L; taxi instructions were A; hold short of H. I read it back and Captain repeated but instead of turning right; he heard turned left on A. I tried to catch it by stating that H was in the other direction but we were committed to the turn.  Within seconds; Ground corrected us and gave us new taxi instructions which included a turn which we missed and told us to contact clearance on a different radio for a re-route.  Ground gave us new taxi instructions which were join A; short of H.   Before switching frequencies I verbalized 'Short of H.'  The Captain responded 'Short of H; I got one' [radio].  I left Ground and contacted Clearance.  I was writing down the new clearance but was distracted because I was trying to keep tabs on the taxi route. I finally captured the new route and returned to Ground frequency as we were coming to H.  Ground asked how much longer because they were about to turn the airport around.  I stated 3 minutes; in which time I reprogrammed the FMS. Verified it with the Captain who had noted the new route was in the coded departures. He sent a message to Dispatch; while I took down the continuation of the taxi route to the Runway 31L.  New taxi instructions were cross 22R; right on Z and hold short of 31L.  I read it back.  We crossed 22R and Captain called for flight control check and Taxi checklist when ready.  We completed the Taxi checklist to the line when I switched to Tower.  Tower called and asked if we were ready.  Capt said 'yes' and below the line items on the taxi checklist.  I completed the flow; finished the checklist and gave it one quick look at the JFK 1 departure which states; 'Via vectors to assigned route/fix.  Expect cln to filed alt/fl 10 min after departure.' Wavey departure expect vectors to JFK R-156. I stated out loud what I read; while Tower cleared us for takeoff.  Then we were airborne; going straight into LGA airspace because we forgot all about the Breezy Point Climb.  NY Departure turned us to a heading of 180; then on a heading of 130. Informed us of our error.  We apologized.  NY Departure said no worries and handed us over to NY Center.  Contributing factor to this incident was the fact that the crew had been on a continuous duty period since [9 PM] EDT the night before.  Although we got our scheduled break of 6 hrs block to block.  We flew a fairly full aircraft to JFK.  After deboarding; van waiting; ride and signing in; an hour of our rest had been utilized.  Leaving us with no more than 3:20 at the hotel since we were scheduled for a 5 AM van.  I myself had only 90 min of sleep prior to this incident.  In my opinion; these continuous duty period schedules are dangerous.  It is almost impossible to adapt to the change in the sleep pattern.   In addition; distractions due to previous errors made on the taxi compounded by continuous taxi instructions and having to change frequencies to pick up new route clearances caused this incident.  Once the new route was in the FMS we realized it was going to be a longer flight and not wanting to delay the flight any further we rushed to complete the tasks at hand.  I was trying to do too much with too little.  Although; it seemed that everything got done and we did not short cut checklist.  By rushing we did forget our original Breeze Point Climb.  Eliminate continuous overnight schedules which do not allow for a full FAR crew rest.
