FDA About to Approve New Jet Lag Drug

There are two problems with jet lag -- sleeping at night and staying awake during the day. For the first problem, there's Ambien and Lunesta. Now, for the second problem, the FDA is considering approving Nuvigil (who thinks of these names?), a drug originally designed to fight narcolepsy.

I'm not sure if I'm willing to try this one. A good night's sleep and a Starbucks at 3 pm works great for me!
