I forget where I first heard about it, but the idea of something better and safer than caffeine intrigued me. I take modafinil in the following circumstances: 1. If I feel particularly tired in the morning. 2. If I need to get a lot of stuff done in a short amount of time. 3. If I need to study or perform my best for others. (Mostly job interviews or important meetings.) On average, I end up taking it about twice a week. For me it's basically caffeine++. It helps me think faster and stay focused.
