more of an issue than ritalin are eugaroics such as provigil. Already given out to pilots by the airforce it is being used with increasing frequency by students for exams, shift workers in factories and doctors on long duty schedules. I know of prominant physician researchers and academics who have iused it in situations of sleep deprivation. It allows one to function for extended periods without sleep without losing performance, it keeps mental acuity and raction times and recall stable (newer DARPA funded versions actually increase performance) and has no rebound effects.
