Right now, the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory is testing an antisleep agent called modafinil. Developed by the French firm Lafon to fight narcolepsy and sold by Pennsylvania drugmaker Cephalon under the name Provigil, the compound can keep users up for four or five days at a stretch, with negligible side effects and little risk of addiction.

In trials on healthy people like Army helicopter pilots, modafinil has allowed humans to stay up safely for almost four days while remaining practically as focused, alert, and capable of dealing with complex problems as the well-rested. Then, after a good eight hours' sleep, they can get up and do it again -- for another 90 hours, before finally catching up on their sleep.
