I hate sleeping through a good high.

A little OT but i once spent an entire night trying to listen to one album...
put the needle on the record,

(for you younger folks, MP3's used to come on giant flat black disks that you'd spin and a needle downloaded them into your stereo)

sit down in my comfy chair,
relax,
hear this scratch scratch scratch sound,
realize that the album had ended,
get back up,
put the needle at the begining, and repeat.

ALL NIGHT LONG! fuck what a pain... would've loved to snort the brainchem that night.

Sounds great. I'll buy it wholesale if I can.

I don't think anything could truly replace sleep (or at least not with our current technology/science) because I think your body needs the "down time" to recuperate and restore itself, not just to get rid of sleepiness, if that makes any sense. I would never want to replace sleep, personally, I love it. :p

Edit: Ah, the article addresses my concerns: Dr. Michael Twery, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/about/ncsdr/), said that while research into drugs for sleepiness is "very interesting," he cautioned that the long-term consequences of not sleeping were not well-known.

I think they also intended this to be used on a very short-term basis, definitely not a long-term or permanent replacement for sleep. "We have these other precedents, and it's not clear that you can't use orexin A temporarily to reduce sleep," said Siegel. "On the other hand, you'd have to be a fool to advocate taking this and reducing sleep as much as possible."
