If you’d like to rejoin Facebook after deactivating your account, you may do so at any time by logging back into Facebook or using your Facebook account to sign in somewhere else.

A user’s account may be frozen for as long as she or he wishes. There is no limit to how long a person can keep her or his Facebook account deactivated. However, if a customer truly wants to finalize the split, she or he may elect to delete the account entirely.

If you don’t want to erase your Facebook account completely (too many memories, I know), you may deactivate it temporarily. It’s called a “super-logoff” and was a trick employed by early privacy-conscious users who left the site each time.

When you deactivate your Facebook account, it does not notify your friends or relatives. Unless they try to find your now-defunct profile or ask you in the real world, your friends will have no idea that you’ve disabled your account.
