I think that provigil can be very useful. I was on Ritalin in the morning, which is a bit like the provigil. It can be very helpful for someone who had to wake up early to function at a job. Wish I had known about it back when I was working. Now I am retired, so I can sleep in, if I need to, but that means I never get on a stable daily routine, which makes planning stuff hard to do.
