Who needs sleep?
Sleep Discovery Blog Link I was tooling around on the Discovery HD channel website when I went off on a link for the Science Channel and looked at news stories. One story that struck me as unusual was one about Sleep and how there is new medication with little side effects out on the market for allowing people to stay awake. My first thought was great, now bosses are going to expect us to work even more hours!
Scienctists are studying the effects of what prolonged wakefulness has on our brain and how it stores memory. I can't see how staying awake and never sleeping would not have some serious adverse affects on our health. But still an interesting study.
