My 3 1/2 year old son randomly stays awake for 20-24 hours at a time with no nap. he's not crabby or fighting his sleep, he's just simply awake! help!

Never heard of that: surprises me that he really can go that long with no sleep . must be getting some deep rest in that period . Most important would be his behaviors. most kids who do not get enough sleep are extremely irritable and fussy and hyper. Make sure there is no caffeine in his diet and that includes chocolate. Hopefully just a phase and he will get back to good solid night sleeping for 10 -11 hours.
