🧠 What It Does

Modafinil doesn’t just keep you awake — it helps you stay laser-focused through marathon sessions. Unlike caffeine or Adderall, it’s less about hype and more about clarity. Expect increased alertness, reduced impulse to nap-scroll, and a clean mental runway for deep work.

⚗️ Mechanism of Action

Modafinil affects several neurotransmitters — including dopamine, norepinephrine, and orexin — to increase wakefulness. It doesn’t jack up your heart rate or cause hyperactivity, which is why many biohackers prefer it over traditional stimulants.

🚀 Typical Use

  • Pulling back-to-back focus days
  • Beating jet lag without blackout naps
  • Creative bursts with zero yawns

⚠️ Caution

It’s prescription-only in many countries for a reason. Don’t mix with other stimulants. And don’t use daily — tolerance can build, and sleep debt still exists.

🧪 Stack Tip

Stack low-dose Modafinil with L-Theanine and Magnesium to smooth out overstimulation and help wind down afterward.
