Sleep A Thing Of The Past
 
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...507653,00.html

I'd personally like this for myself but would be scary if this pill became common practice. Imagine the length of workdays.

And in a somewhat related article: Vietnam man handles three decades without sleep

I enjoy the sleep I get. I don't think I'd want an extended workday. They say sleep is also crucial to good health. I'd be wary to use the drug.

Then again, they say we sleep 1/3 of our life away. I would feel better knowing that I spent more of my life living. But again, the marketers of this drug our only thinking about increasing productivity and work time, so **** it.

Yet more science that never needed to happen and whose possible negative consequences far outweigh any positives.

Sure it may sound good to stay up late sleep for 3 hours and feel like it was 8 or 10 hours, but think about how artificial it is also. You may feel like you slept for 8 hours, but your body withers........ as you blindly go on using the drug.

I could really use it now. I haven't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time in the last 2 weeks and I can't remember the last time I slept at night (just nod off in the morning before class). Now to go this final week on no sleep at all. After two nights I begin to hallucinate so should be interesting. An anagram of my last name is "sleep runt." Red bull is killing my wallet. Gah, why am I even posting here...so much work to do.

If the side effects arent too bad, I'd use it sparingly if I had something new come out or something I needed to get done.

See in my eyes I would love this, I could sleep 2 hours before a LAN party and then stay up the entire night without feeling lousy the next day as well as putting myself at risk of sickness because I have no energy to protect myself
