Modafinil and Startups (Daniel Tenner): http://swombat.com/2012/2/27/modafinil-and-startups http://swombat.com/2012/2/27/modafinil-and-startups
Here is the conclusion:
"I will come strongly on the side of saying that anyone who wants to build a startup should stay away from any regular or semi-regular Modafinil use, as it will impair their judgement enough to make up for any apparent gain in productivity, and I would further posit that any founder who takes Modafinil regularly has a habit (as I did) of taking on potentially large, unknown long-term liabilities for small short-term gains, which is not a good thing."
- ChazDazzle 12y agoThe impaired judgement he experienced could just as easily be attributed to his prolonged sleep-deprivation rather than the Modafinil.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoNeither is recommended.
