I had a little trouble falling asleep, probably because I took the 150mg dose at 11am and tried to go to sleep at 11pm (Modafinil is said to work for between 12 and 14 hours). I saw some flashing lights in my field of vision in the dark but they subsided after about 20 minutes and I probably went to sleep within a half an hour after that. I usually sleep within 10 minutes.

Day 5 and I took 200mg after getting up several hours early (I slept 9 hours instead of 12, trying to get back to a more reasonable schedule). I took it with a cup of water and my usual coffee.

Two hours after I took it I did not notice a big difference, except that I felt like doing something. I had something to do anyway, so I did it. While I was doing my thing, I didn't feel particularly focused, although my thoughts were a little faster.

Later when I got back (I was out), I thought of trying to read. I have not been motivated to read in many months, so I thought I would try it out to find out how it would go. I ended up reading 50 pages of a book! I didn't even like the book but I just kept on going. That's a big change!

I stopped at 50 pages because I became distracted by some small tasks and things. I'll try again tomorrow.

Hopefully, all I needed to do was go to 200mg - maybe that's my dose. I'll see how things go tonight and tomorrow.
