The survival rule of thumb is: 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.

It has happened. Some sports/energy drinks will actually dehydrate a person. One guy died spending 32 hours playing video games.

Another lasted longer at 86 hours.

You won't starve, but you can die of renal failure if you don't go to the bathroom. Sleep deprivation can also cause a heart attack and other problems. Sitting in one position can also cause deep vein thrombosis, blood clots in your legs.
