My friend and I talked about this on the Ben Nation Podcast back in Feb. or March. Initially, I thought it was an excellent idea, because life is short, why waste 1/3 of it sleeping?
Then I realized... the only real reason to develop this drug would be to benefit the economy. It's ALWAYS about the economy. It might not ever become mandatory, but there will always be people willing to use the drug to be a better worker bee. And those 24/7 workers will be the ones everybody has to compete with for jobs and/or promotions. Maybe employers will even go as far as secretly (or openly) screening for it during drug tests?
