What if it was "caffeine"?

A stimulant drug, just happens to be legal.

Or Coca? A plant that release a stimulant when chewed.

Now if the app was called "Sweet Meth", you'd have a better parallel with "fuck sleep", but it's not.

Funny you mentioning „caffeine“ [1]as this is also an app for macOS which solves the same purpose as the one posted. But this one is not in the App Store. I just had a look and next to amphetamine we have taurine, theine and caffeinated and a few more that use some form of coffee / a substance that keeps one awake. The „Prevent Sleep“ app is the only one which clearly states what it is for :) [1] https://intelliscapesolutions.com/apps/caffeine

There's an app called Caffeine that does the same thing. It's what I use.

Next on the chopping block.

Doubt it, seeing as how caffeine isn't a controlled substance.

Apple’s own command line tool which does the same is called caffeinate.
