Not too familiar with this drug yet but holy shit does it help in the gym. Works wonders.
It's a stimulant and cognitive enhancer.
This is the basics of it: (no peer review)
Modafinil acts as an atypical, selective, and weak*dopamine reuptake inhibitor*which indirectly activates the release of*orexinneuropeptides*and*histamine*from the*lateral hypothalamus*and*tuberomammillary nucleus, respectively, by unknown mechanisms, all of which contribute to heightened arousal.
In a meta-analysis*recently published*in*European Neuropsychopharmacology,*researchers from the University of Oxford and Harvard Medical School concluded that a drug called modafinil, which is typically used to treat sleep disorders, is a cognitive enhancer. Essentially, it can help normal people think better.
Out of all cognitive processes, modafinil was found to improve decision-making and planning the most in the 24 studies the authors reviewed. Some of the studies also showed gains in flexible thinking, combining information, or coping with novelty. The drug didn’t seem to influence creativity either way.
“What emerged was that the longer and the more complex the task, ... the more consistently modafinil showed cognitive benefits,” said*Anna-Katharine Brem, a neuropsychologist at Oxford and one of the paper’s authors, in an email.
Modafinil is a prescription medicine for narcoleptics that increases alertness and prevents sleep. It just so happens to also increase cognition and memory, and is a potent and highly regarded supplement in the category of*nootropics.
