Caffeine or Modafinil: Which boosts wakefulness better?

Hi @donaldcoomer28

How are you doing today?

Modafinil (brand name Provigil) is a prescription drug used to treat extreme sleepiness. At the moment, no one from Carenity has left a review, but be sure to check back later. Caffeine is a stimulant that is naturally occurring in some food and drinks and can also be purchased over the counter.

I'm not sure who has tried Modafinil, but I'll tag a few members who may be able to share their experiences with either Modafinil or caffeine.

Have you ever taken Provigil? What are you habits around caffeine intake? Have you noticed any side effects or long term habits (addiction, withdrawal?) What else do you do to make you feel more awake/alert?

Take care,

Caffeine works well for me because it keeps me calm and awake

Hey

I feel like Modafinil keeps me awake throughout the day. But Caffeine only does it for a few hours. There's a good breakdown of the difference here: https://modafinilreview.com/guides/students

hope that helps!
