a bad day,

or you're just part of that vast New York City Party Army Contingent in extreme foreword deployment position looking for the next big rave at 3AM deep in one of the New York City's labyrinthic boroughs.

Give your doctor a good reason.

The reason I gave is that I'm an actor, and I have a day job, which means I'm often up quite early, and I need to be awake, coherent, and functional on heavy audition, rehearsal, or performance days - which are almost always scheduled at night, just before the raves.

I do NOT take this stuff everyday - for the simple reason that I don't know what the effects are of taking this stuff everyday over several years and apparently no one else does either, so I don't feel like being a walking experiment, but for those heavy heavy days, it really really helps.

Here's some resources you should consult if you're thinking of giving Modafinil a-go:

If Modafinil still sounds right for you, then armed with the knowledge you'll find in these resources, you'll be in a great position to persuade your doctor that you need "an edge" while still sounding like a reasonable, rational, thoughtful individual - which you are . . . right?
