How many hours straight can we stay awake without suffering any damage or problems from the non sleeping?

Confusing question: I seem to recall a study done years ago that showed people starting to have seizures after 96 hours awake.I don't recall anything more about the study but wonder why you ask. The human body requires sleep to function at peak performance.I am sure there are other studies that show decreased vigilance with decreased sleep.
