new idea - the elimination of sleep

[See previous]

New Drug May Help Sleep-Deprived Brain: "Then, the monkeys were kept awake for 30-36 hours. That's the equivalent of about three days for a human, according to a Wake Forest news release.

The sleepy monkeys did much worse on the computer tests than they had before. When they received CX717, they performed better than ever.

'CX717 administered to sleep-deprived monkeys produced a striking removal of the behavioral impairment and returned performance to above-normal levels even though animals remained sleep-deprived,' write the researchers."

Comments:
If I could completely eliminate sleep from my life with no adverse side-effects, I would do it in a heartbeat.
 
Cool.. There is also modafinil - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil

If I never had to sleep again, I'd have my brain taken out and put in a vite tank.
