So the other day my husband was telling me about this new pill he heard about. One that would help keep you awake for up to 2 weeks and then allow you to recharge with minimal sleep and do it again. My only question is… why in the heck would you want to stay awake for weeks at a time?! Sleep is fantastic, your body needs it and well it is the only time no one can actually bother you! Why would you give that up?

I did a quick search and found a couple of interesting articles about this subject -

Oh yea and this one

I understand that in theory it would be good for military personnel and the like to be able to stay awake longer. But it cannot be good for you in the long term. Your body was designed to sleep every day for a reason. Stop messing with nature people. Stop feeding people burgers from cloned cows and think it is not big deal not to tell them, and stop staying awake for a month. Take a nap and get on with it!
