It depends on what state you're in, and whether you're exempt or non-exempt (as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act). Can you give more information?

24. There is no blanket restriction on how many hours you can work... nor could there be. The Government can't regulate how I spend my time. If I'm an author or an artist or even a mechanic and I want spend all my day toiling at my craft I am permitted to. What you're really asking is are there labor laws that restrict an employer from requiring an employee work a certain amount of hours. This truly depends on the kind of employment you're talking about and things like unions certainly come into play.

Depends on your employer and what kind of work you do. For some jobs, like mine, I can work 24 hours a day.

Medical personnel rarely work less than 12 hrs and double shifts are common. As long as you are an adult and you want to work and your employer agrees to overtime. I do not believe there is a limit.
