I've slept for over a day before, but the best time had to be around 20hrs. I went to sleep around 10pm, woke up late in the evening the next day. The best part? I had a dream in which I had woken up at 10am and had my day up until that point. I was talking to people about stuff I had done and they were all "Umm... What? You've been asleep all day!". Hilarity ensued.
In ShadowWolf's poll thread I posted that I was awake for 48 hours straight during my senior year in college and as a result of that I ended up sleeping for 24 hours straight. Now I can't seem to sleep longer than 8 hours even if I try hard.
After the longest period I spent being awake I, naturally, had my longest period of sleep. I forget the exact time, I just remember looking at the window and thinking I didn't sleep too long for how long I was awake, then checking the date and seeing that it was actually the next day. I never want to do that again.
So ShadowWolf's poll about sleep deprivation gave me an idea for a sister poll. Let's look at the other side of the coin!
What's the longest you've been asleep? It doesn't have to be 100% unbroken sleep, but almost. Mid-nap-marathon bathroom breaks don't count, and neither does waking up groggily for a few minutes but going right back to sleep. If you got up for a while, though, or were awake enough for the "fog of sleep" to lift, then it doesn't count if you go back to sleep after.
If a high number, I invite you to specify if you were sick or not at the time.
I've slept over 24h while sick (27h, I think it was?), but I've never broken then 24h mark without being sick (think the most I managed was ~22h).
One of the things on my bucket list is to sleep away a full day without being sick!
I missed an entire day once, it was after a three day straight gaming session. It hurt to close my eyes at first but once I got used to it I didn't get up again until I lost a whole day. Totally worth it!
There have a very few times in my life -- as in, I can count them on the fingers of one hand -- where I slept 13-14 hours straight. It's extremely rare, however, and I haven't slept that much in years now.
These days, I can't sleep more than 6 hours consecutively, and never more than 9-10 hours in a day total. Even then, that's way above average for me -- I normally sleep 7-8 hours, tops.

Know the feeling...
In my glorious youth, when free time permitted, I often stayed up 25-30h, then would sleep for a good 16-18h.
Now that I'm an old man, even when I have the opportunity to do so, I have a hard time breaking the double digits. Makes me sad.

I'm just incapable of sleeping for more than 11 hours. I just can't do it. Even for 11 hours I need sleep deprivation. Normally I even have a hard time pushing up to 10.
