Yes, it's true -- the drug that Britney Spears has been toting around in her Southern trash purse will now be available on college campuses.

Provigil, which is used to treat excessive sleepiness or narcolepsy, is being used to keep tech executives awake and now the college set will catch on for those long study sessions and overnighters.

Provigil, also known as Modafinil, has rave reviews from users on the web, claiming that they can stay awake for unfathomable amounts of time with minimal side effects. In terms of effectiveness, Provigil beats out all of its competitors -- caffeine and adderall cannot match up. The manufacturers of Provigil, Cephalon, will stress that the drug should not be abused or used as a sleep replacement; but potential buyers won't be listening to all that malarkey.

If it's good enough for Britney, it's good enough for strung out, stressed college students!

Unfortunately, 20 years down the road when they recall the drug because it has some freak connection with brain tumors, the competitive advantage won't matter.
