From an article in Wired magazine today:

“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 occuring brain hormone called orexin A reversed the effects of sleep deprivation in monkeys, allowing them to perform like well-rested monkeys on cognitive tests. ”

So what you’re saying is, in the near future there will be something for me to snort that will help me (the sleep deprived monkey) to perform like a well rested monkey and it isn’t coke? Yeah for science!
