Two points I didn't see about modafinil that I've found: 1) There's a long lag from the I take it until the time it kicks in. I read somewhere that it has to be processed by the liver once and the results of that are what actually has an effect. The upshot is, if I take it after about 11am, I will find myself awake after 1am. So for me it's early or not at all.

2) As a hangover/sleepless night cure. Modafinil is a great "fixer" for a slow d-r-a-g of a day. By noon I usually have forgotten I started the day hungover.

I generally take 50mg for the mildest effect, or sometimes 100mg if the need is greater.
