I set my alarm and got up earlier today - only 9 hours of sleep instead of 12. I need to get back into a better routine.
I took 200mg of Modafinil as soon as I got up to give it the best chance at working today. I think it finally worked because I was able to read 50 pages of a book a friend of mine wrote. I haven't had the desire or motivation to read or write for many, many months so this is a change.
I'm also not feeling as low as I was a couple of days ago. The low feelings are still there in the background, but I feel as if I can more easily cope with them and keep them at bay as opposed to having them wash over me.
