From a personal standpoint, I don't believe stimulants or depressants should be administered without a valid medical/tactical reason. People who stay awake too long may BELIEVE they are accomplishing something, but look at any meth addict for the actual results...lots and lots of smoke, but no fire <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Forty hour forced march where you don't have to think, just move...maybe. As long as someone who's had some sleep is telling you which way to go...

Anyhow, looking forward to reading this one.
