Sleep may be the enemy, but...

...here's a drug that reduces the need to sleep without jitters. You can stay awake for 40 hours,and feel fine.

I do not want to live in a world where you're expected to take it.

Hmm...i probably wouldn't do it right now as i'm perky after 5 hours a night in the summer, but in the winter when i feel tired no matter how much i sleep, i think taking a little bit (14 hours' worth, if it works like that) would be an idea i could very well entertain.

Yup, I'm just the same... I currently only have a little difficulty getting out of bed at 6am after six or seven hours sleep (it just takes one "Neal, get out of bed now!) to do it, but in Winter it usually takes a lot more poking to get me moving...
