What is a micro sleep?
When you stay up for a long period of time, you may experience points where you fall sleep for somewhere between a fraction of a second to 30 seconds. This is called microsleep, and you'll probably experience it at some point if you pull multiple all-nighters consecutively.
How long can you go without sleep?
The average is around 3-4 days, anyone who manages longer is either almost certainly lying, or they are likely experiencing spells of microsleep without even realising it. Certainly there are drugs such as caffeine, cocaine and amphetamines that keep you awake, but these cannot sustain you for very long. The longest in the Guinness book of world record is 11 days without sleep.

Can you die if you do not sleep?
You could get VERY sick from it. You might even go crazy. Heres what someone found: Lack of sleep may also result in irritability, blurred vision, slurred speech, memory lapses, overall confusion, hallucinations, decreased sex drive, nausea, psychosis, and eventually death There are no documented cases of a healthy human dying from total sleep deprivation (excluding accidents), aside from those suffering from Fatal Familial Insomnia. In carefully monitored experiments, several normal research subjects stayed awake for 10 days. While they all experienced cognitive deficits in memory, concentration, etc, none of them experienced serious medical, neurological, physiological or psychiatric problems [1]. Total sleep deprivation in rats leads to death in around 28 days. Death occurs later if only REM sleep is eliminated. In humans, extended sleep deprivation causes microsleep sessions to develop. A person who has fatal familial insomnia may die after several months with no sleep at all; people without this condition may experience dementia or develop permanent personality changes within the first few weeks.
How much sleep does the average person have?
the average, working class, average business, usually gets 6-7 hours maybe less.When an average working class adult needs 9-10, that is a big decrease.May I improve above answer.A fundamental rule about people's characteristics is "everybody is different". People vary as to how much sleep they need and have throughout their life. Babies generally sleep up to 15 per 24 hours and as the person gets older the amount of time they sleep per night gets less. Older children and teenagers on average get between 8 and 12 hours and adults average 7 hours and this may reduce when they get to fifty and older.Some adults however find they need to sleep longer to stay alert and healthy and may sleep 10 to 12 hours per night in some cases right through their middle age and into old age, while others can function perfectly sleeping for half this time per night. Most although not everybody finds they need a lot less sleep in middle or old age than when they were younger. As a general rule people over sixty sleep much less at night than younger people but tend to dose off much more in the daytime, but there are exceptions to that too. At the other end of the spectrum there are some exceptional people who throughout their adult life only sleep for 3 or 4 hours on average per night and show no sign of fatigue. So as stated everybody is different.Basically everybody should try to stay in bed for as long as they feel they need to and never judge anybody else, such as by you unfairly teasing or castigating somebody else as being "lazy" because they need more time in bed each night than you know you do. Sleep deprivation from what a person needs at any age can be extremely harmful to their health and well being causing inability to concentrate and reducing their ability to perform tasks creating a dangerous tendency to drift into microsleep when performing critical tasks. But too much sleep can also be bad for you, and more than 12 hours in bed per 24 hours is probably too much and can cause depression and lethargy.
What does sleep do to your body?
Well your mind gets mest up you can't see right you get more pimples, big dark bags under your eyes and if you stay up late for a long time you get really sick. But 1 night or 2 nights is fine just don't stay late for a week in a row.
