First you have too look at your lifestyle, like why do you need sleeping pills to fall asleep in the first place. Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your body, even if you take provigil, it will only help you stay a bit more allert. Try something like a muscle relaxant or an anti-histamine before bedtime, both will work at putting you to sleep and that way you wont feel sleepy the entire day after you wake up, like with sleeping pills.

You can still fall asleep on it. But it will keep you more allert.

yes, provigil will help.

I have prescription sleeping pills (required due to prior serious injuries). I take provigil (modafinil) first thing in the morning, and it brings more "mental alertness."

Does it keep you from having that tired feeling all day?

it will work on occasion, but if you are suffering from cumulative sleep deprivation it is not a long term fix. you will feel awake but have permanent racoon eyes and your reaction times will not be as fast as you think they are (as the provigil makes you think you are more aware than you really are). also the regular decrease in sleep will mess up your progress in the gym. you may feel refreshed, but your body is not going to be fully recovered.

when i used provigil some people thought i had a coke problem. also it gave me nervous tics. i can't really recomend the stuff for regular use. used every once in a while it can save the day.

does not keep me from feeling tired ... but does help me to keep focused.

And it doesnt seem to keep me alert all the time either. One day it works and another it dont.

I hear it increases the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain, and does so without a correspoding increase in central nervous system stimulation. Sounds like the ideal drug for students...
