Did you get enough sleep last night?

Rarely do I get enough sleep. But thanks to modern technology, we now know what causes the side-effects of lack of sleep, AND how to fix it. For those of you that don't know, cAMP is "cyclic adenosine monophosphate". It's what's called a second messenger, which basically is responsible for intracellular communication. So, if you don't have enough of it, or if it's being blocked by this newly discovered enzyme, your brain is literally not functioning correctly.

Coffee is going to be a thing of the past (except of course for the weirdos who drink it because they like how it tastes...ahem). From now on, we will simply have to take a pill every morning that will decrease the amount of this new enzyme in our system, and we can start our day as if we had gotten our prescribed 7-9 hours of sleep.

Cool.

I wonder what this will do to the economies of the coffee producing countries of the world?
