Who needs sleep when you can get the same effects from snorting a brain chemical that eliminates sleepiness? Yep, you read that right. If you're like me and need gallons of coffee to make it through your day, then join me in celebration.

"Darpa-funded scientists might have found a drug that will eliminate sleepiness. A nasal spray containing a naturally occurring brain hormone called orexin A reversed the effects of sleep deprivation in monkeys, allowing them to perform like well-rested monkeys on cognitive tests. The discovery's first application will probably be in treatment of the severe sleep disorder narcolepsy."

  • Ya, its called COCAINE! I'm more amazed that DARPA hasn't heard about it.

    This reminds me of when methamphetamines were used in the 1950s. First comes the college students, then the junkies.

    "In the United States in the 1950s, legally manufactured tablets of methamphetamine (a stronger form of amphetamine) were used non medically by college students, truck drivers, and athletes. These people usually did not become severely addicted, this was usually because the use was for a purpose other than recreational."
