Do you have an opinion on whether the side effects should be thought of as sleep deprivation?

Not really. I wasn't taking it at night to reduce sleep but when I got up in the morning to try and increase cognitive powers and whatnot.

I probably should have added more detail to my question. A lot of people who take it in the morning report reduced sleep, maybe an hour less. It has a half-life of 16 hours, so that's not too surprising.
