I know guys (mostly engineering students) who will literally stay up for 3-4 days doing work that is pretty mentally demanding. They use the ADHD prescription drug Adderall. It has an amphetimine-like effect for keeping you awake but also keeps you very focused. Personally, I hate having outside chemicals interfere with my mind (except alcohol when I'm relaxing), but I realize the difficulty in staying alert for long hours. What do yall think of this drug's effectiveness in the field?
