> answering this question with certainty, knowing as little as we do about sleep

Nobody really knows OP. Its hard to measure permanent brain damage when the effect is slight. Some studies suggest its cumulative and any amount of sleep depravation causes permanent damage, some say 4 days apparently. The truth is it most likely varies from person to person depending on your brain structure, but nobody really knows.
