This is your life now. Work is scarce so you do what you must when you’re told to. You work the graveyard shift (if you’re lucky enough to be offered it). But what if you can’t stay energetic in the middle of the night? What if you work during the daylight hours but spend half the night digesting your computer screen, trying to keep up with the flow of information, keeping track of the other you? How can you summon the strength? For an age like ours, there’s Nuvigil, a stimulant for “shift work disorder” from the good people at Cephalon. Side effects include (no joke): life threatening allergic reaction, skin rashes, chest pain, dark urine, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, psychosis, mania, thoughts of suicide, aggression, and other mental problems, headache, nausea, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. It costs $300 a month. You will pay.
