Get ready for 24-hour living: Quote: >>So Much to do, so little time.
Between a hectic work schedule and a thriving social life, Yves (not
his real name), a 31- year-old software developer from Seattle, often
doesn't have time for a full night's sleep. So he swallows something
to make sure he doesn't need one. "If I take a dose just before I go
to bed, I can wake up after 4 or 5 hours and feel refreshed," he
says. "The alarm goes off and I'm like, let's go!" Yves is talking
about modafinil, a stimulant that since its launch seven years ago
has acquired a near-mythical reputation for wiring you awake without
the jitters, euphoria and eventual crash that come after caffeine or
amphetamines. Yves has been popping modafinil on and off for the past
three years and says it is "tremendously useful". "I find I can be
very productive at work," he says. "I'm more organised and more
motivated. And it means I can go out partying on a Friday night and
still go skiing early on Saturday morning."<<
