Ehh, probably a week or so. I used to do 7 day on 7 day off work rotations at one of my older jobs and once or twice I just opted to stay home and play video games for days in a row....

This guy was trapped in an elevator for 41 hours. Can you imagine? Talk about sensory deprivation. What would you do if the elevator opened in front of you, and a man stumbled out claiming to have been stuck in there for 41 hours? :confused:

I'd take the stairs.

Without direct physical interaction... maybe 1-2 days.

Without internet/phone etc... maybe 12-24 hrs

Back in college I was an RA, I'd stay in the dorm by myself during Christmas break. One year I didn't see or hear another person for like 2 weeks, no Internet either. I slept a lot :(

I often go a week while I'm working only seeing other people 15mins a day at shift change. I'm alone all the rest of the time.

Truly alone.. maybe a couple days

My guess would be just from Friday after work until Monday morning once after a breakup with an ex when I was pretty depressed. I don't know for sure though, so I'll say 1-2 days for sure.
