Modafinil, a sedative used in the treatment of sleep dysfunction, is also one of the stimulants banned by the International Olympic Committee, recently tested by the UK. service for the needs of the country's military.

British military officials hope that the drug could increase the ability of British soldiers in extreme weather conditions and accelerate the pace of adaptation to the new environment. The Ministry of Defense also said thousands of Modafinil tablets had been stockpiled before the Iraq war, but were never used.

Modafinil is a drug that works to "turn off" users' sleep needs and allows them to stay awake for several days. Manufacturers say Modafinil has no side effects but experts warn that the drug is easily abused.
