No more sleep!
DARPA Eliminates Sleep.
I’m very curious about what the long term effects would be of it’s use.

I doubt that it’s going to be a replacement for sleep, only a temporary cure for exhaustion.
Also, I doubt it will be publically available.

I like to sleep, would not even want to try that stuff!! Nuh-uh!!

Ever seen The Machinist?
I dunno… I’m pretty sure there’s a big difference between making people -feel- like they don’t need to sleep, and making it so that they actually don’t have to.

First of all. It’s not available to the public. It is still being tested. And when it is found to be “safe” for human use, it will only be available to help treat narcolepcy. There’s no way this will ever be available over the counter because like Vicky said, people would OD on it and kill themselves. The tests they did on Monkeys found no bad side effects. But we all know that tricking the brain into thinking it’s not tired is only a temporary solution. While it would be great to use such a drug for a day or two, there are just too many morons in this world who would use it ALL the time and think “I never have to sleep again.” Obviously, the long term effects of that would be FATAL. Everyone needs sleep to survive. It’s common sense.

Sleep’s overrated.
I’m a well-known insomniac, and well… If I can’t sleep, I would be more productive. Sign me up. LOL.

If you’re an insomniac then you already can’t sleep so why would you need the pills?

Because, even if you are experiencing insomnia, you can still be feeling exhausted. Except it’s exhaustion without the release of sleep… I’m guessing.

But the answer to insomnia is to get something that knocks you out!
Yeh - I didn’t really read the article before I first posted, I just figured it would stop sleep, rather than deal with the tiredness. I want some. I have soo much work to do…. And so little concentration. I need me some ritalin.

well its not like DARPA is the only thing that can produce it. At some point some other drug company or country will produce it as well, when that happens it should be possible to get even if that means paying a hugh price money wise and helath wise.
Just keep it away from those WoW freaks lol otherwise those servers will crash due to overload.

Blood - I know - that was my point in the second post: I didn’t realise it just dealt with tiredness rather than inhibited sleep (which is what it seemed logical to me might be done my a narcolepsy drug….)
