This would have very negative effects though, as the brain dumps waste during sleep. If industry&#x2F;military regularly would force people to be awake, who knows what would happen to their health? Mental illness rates for Alzheimer&#x27;s, Dementia, &amp;c would likely increase.<p>Pretty certain it&#x27;d be handy in certain military situations. But I could also see easy abuse in industries like computer game design. Imagine if EA could force you to stay awake to shorten their deadlines.
