Let's stay awake all night long...
Sure to be a campus hit:
Modafinil�better known as Provigil�is fast becoming America's newest "go pill." Made by Cephalon, a small publicly traded biotech firm in West Chester, Pa., Provigil is a central-nervous-system drug that promotes hyper-focus and alertness. Patients using Provigil in clinical tests functioned normally�for example, completing tedious computer tasks�after up to 54 hours without sleep.Hmmmm, will this put a big dent in coffee and Mountain Dew sales?
