Absolutely, one of my favorite episodes ever... None of the other 300 or so episodes is even remotely like it, animation is just gorgeous and unique especially Homer's trip.
Also such choice quotes as:
Homer: "So should I get rid of all of my possessions?" Space Coyote: "Are you kidding, if anything you should get even more possessions, you dont even have a computer"
Voice: "Find your soul mate homer" Homer: "Where, where?" Voice: "This is just your memory, I cant give you any new information"
Bart: "Hey is that dad?" Lisa: "Either that or Batman has really let himself go"
Homer: "Your from venus" Marge: "And you're from mars" Homer: "Oh sure, give me the one with all the monsters"
Best episode ever, now to kick who ever thought Itchy, Scratchy and Poochy was better in the nuts. Well either that or consoling myself by watching this episode a couple times.
If this is the drug that I think it is, there is very little recovery time associated with the prolonged periods of wakefulness. This is actually one of the most interesting features of this drug, as all other stimulants tend to exact a cost in terms of a recovery period requiring increased amounts of sleep to offset the extended wakefulness. This when coupled with its ability to maintain performance over the period of wakefulness makes it look like a true wonder drug.
However, it should be looked at carefully for long term effects as certain aspects of the sleep cycle are critical for survival. It has been shown that laboratory rats deprived of sleep for more than 17 days will usually die, why this happens is unknown but it does strongly suggest that sleep is necessary for maintaining normal functions.
Such a drug has amazing potential but until the effects are better understood, caveat emptor.
