The extreme, according to NASA, is about 10 days, 240 hours for an extremely healthy person. At that point, you body is nearly shut down.
NASA did the research because they wanted to now how long their astronauts could be awake and alert in the event that an emergency occurred in space that required the attention of all on board..

i don't know what's been scientifically proven but i'm an insomniac, and i've gone just about 4 days without any sleep whatsoever and still function fairly well. after about 80-90 hrs i will past out and sleep for about 20 hrs straight. i can go 7-8 days and function pretty well, if i get about 1 or 2 hrs a night, and after which, i'll pass out for about 20 hrs. i could probably go for longer without sleep but i've never had to go any longer than that.

Military tests have seen that a person can go for up to 4 days without sleep. Realistically about 2 days.

Why would you need to go without sleep anyways? Personally whenever i don't sleep well at night, or am up for some reason- i buy tei fu essential oil or lotion from www.naturessunhine.com- works well for awaking your sences, and helps with tension and pain, headaches. etc
