Researchers Patricia Agostino, Santiago Plano and Diego Golombek of the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes in Buenos Aires gave hamsters Viagra. They then woke them up 6 hours early. Hamsters who received Viagra were faster on the exercise wheels than those who didn't.

Absolutely fascinating, I can't wait to try that myself!
