From my understanding of drugs, stimulants don't get rid of the need to sleep, they just prevent you from feeling sleepy. The article mentioned histamines. Sleep is a physical necessity of humans, and a pill won't change that. There are some other augmentations that could maybe do so; I'm thinking an AI that could take over certain brain functions for a while, and just let parts of the brain or body sleep at a time. But, I'm a transhumanist, and so I'm coming at this from the side opposite you, and I like to think and dream of that sort of thing.
