The longest anyone's gone without sleep is 11 days. After that, your organs start to shut down, and you die. With just a little sleep (even a few seconds at a time), people can go a lot longer than that, though.

The longest I've gone without sleep was about 4 days but that was before I got clean. Since then I can do 24 hours but then Im ready to pass out.

Due to an Emergency Situation, I once stayed at work - and awake - for 3 days (including 2 nights) without a break (other than meal breaks).
It was a horrible experience and not one I'd want to repeat.
I could NOT close my eyes without them 'springing wide OPEN.' In the end I went home to bed and slept for about 15 hours, woke feeling like death on the floor of a bird cage. It took me some 20+ hours further to even approach anywhere near 'Recovery.'
I have worked a number of 24 hour shifts without breaks, but there's no way I could do nor would try to do it again.

Have children under the age of four stay over for a week and see how much sleep you get.
Sorry, that was a mother's joke.
I have gone 36 hours without sleep when one of my children was very sick and in the hospital.

The world record for staying awake is around eleven days, and people have been known to stay awake between eight and ten days in carefully monitored experiments
