Just think what we as individuals could accomplish if we only required 2 or 3 hours of sleep per night. Like it or not, technology, including drug technology, is going to produce a more efficient human. But will we have the wisdom to use such power wisely?

What the study shows is that some ACUTE cognitive effects of sleep deprivation are prevented. But what about the long-term consequences of sleep deprivation? Perhaps these are even being made worse.

The caffeine that took to stay up also (in retrospect) seemed to help me concentrate. Though I've always wondered if the added pressure of the sunrise had a major effect or more of an effect. It would be nice to try some of this to see how it worked in situations like that. before I was diagnosed with ADD, I used to stay up all night trying to get things done taking large amounts of caffeine (vivarin, coffee, soda, etc).
