Gotta get me some of that
The new scientist (same as the old scientist) reports that the new wave of lifestyle drugs are those that allow us to self-modify our sleep architecture. And more, and more subtle and powerful, drugs are in the pipeline. Wakefulness promoters, sleep enhancers, anti-narcoleptics, all this and more will allow you to stay awake for days at a time without the edginess and irritability (not to mention geek stigma) of Jolt(tm) and to recharge your batteries in no time at all with a two hour, all slow wave power nap. As much as I love sleep - and Mrs. Buckethead will attest to the deep and abiding respect I have for sleep - being asleep is suboptimal for getting things done.
I seem to remember some time ago that someone had a drug that could block the need for sleep, but this article doesn't mention it. Pro- something.

You're thinking of Modafinil
You're thinking of Modafinil (marketed as Provigil).
I remember reading this article, thinking I gotta get me some of that...
