Are you allowed to bring energy drinks and other high caffiene food?

...no?

I Am kinda broke rightr now, mainly cause the antibiotics im taking, MinoCycline, for, oh joy, MRSA.

Despite your personal metabolism, some people need more than 4-5 hours of sleep. Some of us have jobs where we are supposed to be at a job on a regular schedule: working for 72-96 hours straight is not an option for them, myself included.

I did not deny that coffee (more accurately) contains the drug caffeine. I personally don't drink it: I can't stand the taste. As far as I can see, every bad effect of caffeine is also present in Provigil, along with others.

Despite your apparent claims to the contrary, Provigil remains a prescription drug. To use it for any reason without a valid prescription is illegal. Period. I would not feel very safe in an aircraft piloted by a person who was on their 96th hour of being awake, Provigil or not. The same with being on the road with a trucker in the same condition. It's not merely a matter of what you want to do; the safety of others has to be considered.

Doctors who prescribe Provigil (or any prescription drug) for "off-label" usage may be violating the most basic portion of the Hippocratic Oath: "Primum, non nocere." In English, "First, do no harm."

You know, certainly from the previous posts and threads you've posted I know the title "insane" certainly fits. And to some degree, I think that one should keep that in mind when reading your posts and give you a bit of leeway on the very strange to outright psychotic things you post.

But I can't help but leaving a comment here because A: I'm bored; and B: I might actually have a bit of useful information for this one.

I worked with a few people who had very strange sleeping habits. One of which was a man who would only sleep 1-2 hours a shot, but divy up the time in the day to eventually get between 6 to 8 hours in any given 24-hour period. From what he told me, it was most likely a genetic "difference" (not going to say defect or "glitch" since a different habit does not constitute a problem) since the rest of his immediate family slept normal hours in one set shot like the rest of us it couldn't be a "nurtured" trait.

He was different though. Always was.

So he would sleep and be active in strange ways that would probably cripple normal people. But his body worked with it, and he worked around it. Other people I know sleep between 8-10 hours to feel normal, others are up and peppy with just 6.

The point is that it is generally up to the individual on how and how much they sleep. While your habits may be fine for you (for now, but I'll get to that next), it most certainly does not work for everyone else. And while I'm one of the most arrogant people I know, even I wouldn't step in and say that everyone can or should sleep and be active on my timetable. To think that everyone else CAN function like that is too far of a stretch.

Now I'm going to take a moment to remind you of something. While I'm aware we live in a chemical world, there are consequences for indulging in chemical replacements to normal body functions. Even if those consequences are not readily apparent now, they may become very serious problems later on in life. Case in point: my mate in his youth used to jump off of the roof of his house...a lot. Impressed his friends very much. No harm, no foul right? Today his knees are completely shot, as is his back.

So that I'm not accused of being subtle, I'm going to spell out my point. Taking chemicals, especially prescription-strength ones, to replace hours of sleep may seem like fun now. But wait until you hit 40 and suddenly your brain almost completely shuts down. It's not going to sound like a lot of fun then. And while that may sound like an extreme example, it is very possible. Your brain needs shutdown time every day to stay fresh and orderly. Of all things, you really do NOT want to screw up your brain. They have hip replacement joints, they do not yet have replacement brains.

If you can live off of a few hours of sleep and honestly feel completely refreshed, then so be it. Other people need more sleep though. And if you have to take a chemical to override your brain's signal to you that you need to sleep, then that's wandering into very dangerous territory.
