Only prob is your involuntary functions need a break, IE your heart at sleep beats almost half as much when u are on your daily life

so thats mean peeps will die faster and the heart attack rates will go up 10,000 x's the norm

btw, why do you just link something at least add a comment, my daughter can copy and paste

I don't think the drug is intended to replace sleep only to combat the effects of sleep deprivation for short-term infrequent uses. For example, long distance flights, standing guard, and certain military operations. There is a strategic advantage when you can get your troops to pull a 48 hour operation with no sleep and not have them fall prey to the effects of sleep deprivation.

However, it would be interesting if they were able to develop a sleep replacement.

Replace sleep! That is one of my favorite things to do. :zzz::zzz::zzz:

It would be nice on those days where you don't get enough sleep, and you're dragging ass in the afternoon. It always blows me away that I have a hard time falling asleep at night in my comfortable bed, and the next day I feel like I could curl up the hard floor and get some nice sleep.

Same here. I'm thinking of building a cubicle or a meeting room in my bedroom.

You shouldn't allow his one link posts get to you. He's been doing it for years. Why would he stop now.

I like the links :)

Drug seems good for occasional use. Seems like a bad idea in the long run...
