I've always heard that the body shuts down and you just have to sleep. You can't fight it, you can't stop it from happening, your body will make you sleep if it needs it.
But I think, on record the longest time anyone has gone without sleeping is 11 days.
A study done on rats has shown that after being deprived of sleep for 3 weeks, they died. I don't know what that says about humans, but it's interesting to know nevertheless.

Lol.. A lot longer than you can imagine. My youngest didn't sleep a wink unless i was holding him for the first 9 1/2 months. I've lost count of the hours i spent pushing the pram backwards and forwards, rocking the car seat and bouncing the baby chair only for him to wail the house down.

Apparently, with forced sleep deprivation, it averages about a week by which time (as someone pointed out) your mind just closes down and forces you to sleep. Also, its very unhealthy to deprive you body of sleep.
I read once of a woman in America who never slept but this is extremely rare.

I stayed awake for two and a half days when my baby was born. Felt like if I went to sleep I might miss some thing.

I think there have been people that stayed awake for about a week, but then their bodies shut down and FORCE them to fall asleep whether they like it or not!

One time, my baby was so colicky, that I didn't crawl into bed for four days. I knew I needed help when I forget how to spell my name.
