Personally, the longest I have not slept for was 5 days. I had ended up with a bacterial tonsilitis, and was very sick at that time. My spleen was swollen, and as a result I had constipation lasting 5 days. On day number 5, my stomach was bloated to such level that I couldn't even induce vomit [all that came out was blood]. I was rushed to the emergency room where they x-trayed me and figured out I had major constipation was given Anhydrous Mangnese Hydroxide to flush everything out. All this resulted from sometype of reaction to antibiotics, painkillers or the throat washes prescribed to me.
Lack of sleep caused (later in the 5th day), severe bleeding from my nose, with a gigantic headache (worse than any drug withdrawal headache), hallucinations, and general feeling of terror. I actually thought I had a ruptured lung or a ruptured colon because of severe bloating. And I was psychotically yelling out weird jibberish. My blood tests came back with thrombocytosis, and very high red blood cell were very high and out of rangle. My WBC was also high but because of the bacterial infection (around 14,500). My liver enzymes were indicating "near" failure, but I didn't have any discernable jaundice.

I've only stayed up for a night and then I couldn't help but sleep. I know that's not long at all, but I'm just answering the question.
I think the longest (recorded) time someone's ever stayed up was like for a week and 10 hours or something. He was a teenager, but by the end he couldn't even say the alphabet. Sorry; I'd much rather just sleep than make dumb records like that!
ZZZZZzzzzzzz.....

This may sound bogus but 84 days. With a little help from Nodoz and some other substances not duly mentioned here, anything is possible but nothing to talk about, and the weight loss is nearly emaciating. It was a combination of severe insomnia and the likes of such. It was treacherous territory. I couldn't function at all, couldn't remember how I got to school, or what had happened. Started to hallucinate crazy things, even talking to myself. They had to sedate me so that I could rest. A time frame like that doesn't usually happen, but its certainly not a situation one would try for.

Three days. You don't want to go there. I started having hallucinations and all kinds of unwanted crap. Sleep is good.

77 hours.
LOTS happened, but nothing I want to talk about publicly. I was younger, stupider, and under the influence of illegal substances.
