What happens if Phil doesn't go to sleep for a few days?

Would he live that time line till he passed out then reset or would he teleport back to bed and wake up?

I think the movie answers this when he has Rita over for the night. 6am comes and she is gone. I believe it's implied he stayed up all night and didn't sleep.

Correct. Even if he rented a snowmobile and headed out across the farmlands all night long - at 6AM he would find himself back in bed.

Yes... But he'd immediately be refreshed by the sleep he had pre 6am on the night before GD

Exactly.
