What say the OT? Does this replace cocaine for most of you OT ballers?

In what sounds like a dream for millions of tired coffee drinkers, 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.

I wonder how much time it shaves off your life.

How does it affect the rest of your body?
Posted on 4/7/15 at 9:33 am to Gugich22
I don't see what could go wrong here.

probably not as much as the lack of sleep does.

Or the long term impacts on your brain functionality. Isn't one of the standard theories that sleeping and dreaming is your brain organizing the days events? Defragmenting the hard drive if you will. Maybe this chemical tells your body that you've done the daily cleanup, but if it doesn't actually do the cleanup...

It's not cocaine.
