Abstract: This invention details a method for introducing a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant into the human circulatory system to aid in the waking process of the human sleep cycle. An orally administrable pharmaceutical containing an outer layer of delayed release coating encapsulates an inner core of active substance. The outer layer is designed to maintain its integrity for a period of 4 to 10 hours. For an eight hour sleep period the unit is taken 8 hours prior to the time the individual wishes to wake up. During the sleeping period the outer layer degrades in the digestive system and exposes the active substance. The active substance is then absorbed, in a single dose, and carried into the circulatory system. The active substance provides a stimulating effect to the central nervous system which provides beneficial effects in the waking process.
