In my (ahem) friends experiments with modafinil he reported the same thing, i.e. that he procrastinated with a vengeance. Last time this happened he managed to get through O'Reilly's _Mastering Algorithms in C_ in a single sitting, though it was completely unrelated to the work he was supposed to do that day.



I got as far as having some really intensely focused world of warcraft sessions on modafinil... What a waste...


Not only that, but modafinil is also great when you absolutely, positively, have to win a flame war on the Internet.
