A person can go without sleep for sometime aside from messing up your circadian rythm (internal clock that keeps you on a 24hr sleep/wake cycle) until you are able to re-adjust. The only harm that would come wouild be if you hurt yourself by driving or the like.
Eventually you will begin to hallucinate what you do while you are hallucinating determines whether you get hurt, after a while your body will just shut down whether you want to stay up or not, you'll just fall asleep.

I have gone 4 days without sleep before...
the side effects are high risk so I wouldn't try this out unless someone will be available to drive you around and keep you sane!!
you would experience hallucinations,& "shadow people"
your emotions will be unstable and eventually your body will demand sleep, by then you'll owe the "sleep bank" and you'll sleep for a long time... good luck!!

On an episode of Fear Factor, the contestants had to go 48 hrs without sleep, so I know it's at least that much. Check out a "Guiness" book of world records, I'm sure it would be in there.

The record was set in the 60's by a young man (sorry, don't know his name) who went a full eleven days without sleep.
At one point his mind was so addled that he thought he was a guitarist in an international rock band

11 days is the longest anyone has gone without sleep. yoiu shouldn't even go more than 2 days without sleep because your body will start to slowly fall asleep itself.

I think I heard a full week before your body completely shuts down.
