No MORE SLEEP!!!.. in developement =-)

Well first of all I know its not possible because if it were we would die.

I did see a show on it though and I was wondering if anyone new about it, any kind of link to this would be cool.

Basically the show was about how people just kind of passed out, out of the blue, and no one new what it was until some scientists started to study the patters on this. They thought they had failed at first and so they tried to focus on something else, obesity (weight loss), which in the end only lead to their original problem.

They found at least some answers like that the thing that actually makes us stay awake. The same thing that people that fell asleep "without wanting to, like to pass out"was the cause of their problem because they either didn't have enough.

I just can?t remember the name of the ?substance? or where to find some more information on it.

They did say that they want to develop something that would help maybe provide less sleep and maybe even no sleep at all "with no side-effects" (typical advertiser).

That is quite weird. Quite the opposite of what they currently have. Trying to make people sleep. And now trying to make people sleep LESS. That's kinda weird.

Well yeah it is but this is not trying to make people sleep "LESS" its trying to get around sleep which is not really possible, what they are doing is simply trying to destroy what we know as sleep, not have it at all EVER.

Man, I feel that the big corperations have their hands in it somehow (where them scientists are getting funding from? see what I mean) they want to keep us working double time: 16 hours a day to increase productivity which means more money for them.

And besides, the body needs sleep, well hell, I need sleep, don't know about you but I need it (sleep is good, its a pitty we can't get enough, know what I mean).

Sleep is bad for you it takes at least 3 to 8 hours of the day you could have spend wasting on something else.

melatonin??

there are also links to this and depression, and a few other dissorders...

the chemical is produced, usually, at night. which is why, most, people all sleep during dark hours and why if you live in a place that has a very dark season like alaska you experience depression. this type of depression is actually treated with a light therapy in which they flash lights at you to get your body to slow the production of melatonin.

I think square is top of cool shape in the world.

yea i watched a program on something like this aswell. Except it was the people who had it really bad. It was fairly recent, probably this yr. A seemingly normal person would be just walking down the footpath with her friends and she would simply fall asleep and her friends would have to catch her so she wouldnt get hurt. I think this was in america, im not sure. But a fair few people had it, some kids just fell asleep in class (wasnt the teacher this time...) Was really scary. Even giving the interview they would just fall asleep.

Now i havnt looked, but they seem to have everything else in the world, so i would assume www.howstuffworks.com is a fair bet for having something about it.

And after getting curious about it, i just went off and found it easy. at none other than, howstuffworks.com.
