Sleep Deprivation

Whether you're a university student spiking your coffee with red bull, or a mother with a newborn that you just can't quite believe would cry so much..sleep deprivation is experienced by everyone and it sucks. What's worse is waking up finally after you did get some sleep realising that you're still tired and the three hours isn't going to cut it. There's no rest for the wicked, or anybody else apparently.

British Ministry of Defence researchers have been able to reset soldiers' body clocks so they can go without sleep for up to 36 hrs. Tiny optical fibres embedded in special spectacles project a ring of bright white light (with a spectrum identical to a sunrise) around the edge of soldiers' retinas, fooling them into thinking they have just woken up. The system was first used on US pilots during the bombing of Kosovo.

So there is rest for some wicked people I suppose
