I've ever gone without sleep was about 85 hours, with the help of a ton of coffee, Diet Coke, and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
Without hurling??!!
I knew some hippies who were on strict macrobiotic diets. Brown bread and rice. They would stay up for as long as they could trying to achieve "free" hallucinations. One guy said he got there after 3 whole days and nights being awake.

At psychiatric hospitals arriving sleepless patients are put to sleep for a day or two because after a few days and up to three weeks of sleeplessness the hallucinations become bizarre and dangerous. After the sleeep therapy, the patients are more at baseline.
