Randy Gardner holds the Guinness world record for the longest period of time a human being has gone without sleep for 264 hours (11 days) with the help of friends, TV reporters, and games of pinball. On his final day without sleep, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words and in general appeared to be in excellent health.

But I'm sure that people have died long before this from lack of sleep. I seem to remember somebody dying after 10 days (can't find any sources right now to confirm that though.)
My record is slightly over 5 days, btw
