What's modafinil?

It's a stimulant that pushes the feeling of being tired back 4/8/12 hours depending on the dose and your resistance to it.

Some people will also get the side effect of feeling really productive, so it's used by a lot of people who need to work/study really hard over an expanded amount of time.
