      It would vary on the person – the longest someone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days, but it is very dangerous. People can go a couple of weeks without food but water is different – its absolutely essential and we cant go more than a few days without water.

      You can live 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.
