    I'm sure this wouldn't be a perfect replacement, nothing ever is.

    and with an extra 8 hours in a day... you'll likely find your work day increased by 33%

    this could be usefull however should it be used properly = EG: sleep 8 hours, wake up tired as hell for some reason... take a low dose of this stuff and suddenyl you're awake.

    basically use this to cure sleepiness, NOT sleep deprivation.

    I didn't think of that, If something like this gets big you're right. Employers would increase work hours and people would work more over time, could also become a money issue.

    Dosn't matter what you pump into yourself at one point you will just stop weather you stop and fall asleep or fall down and die .... you will stop.

    Though it dose seem like th ultimate caffine rush. Prehpas this is the next over the counter drug that will have its one aint commercial and tol-free phone line for junkies?

    Like xlink said, I'd like to see it used for sleepiness not sleep deprivation. Think of all the companies extending their workday because of this.

    I hardly sleep anyhow, so it wouldn't change a thing. In the past week, I've gotten maybe 10 hours of sleep, and this is normal for me. I can really see nothing changing.
