#study drug

Surveys suggest that as many as 1 in 5 university students in the UK and US have used the popular study drug, Modafinil.

Modafinil is a “wakefulness promoting” studydrug that is believed to help improve performance of #sleep deprived individuals.

In this video I discuss mechanisms, research studies and critique our collective obsession with productivity culture.

Modafinil could be the ultimate study drug — and science says it’s safe

Modafinil, also known as Provigil, is a relatively common wakefulness drug first developed in the 1970s for chronic sleep deprivation. Fast forward to today: Modafinil has become the drug of choice for narcolepsy and often ADHD and shift work sleep disorder. Like its more well-known cousins, Adderall and Ritalin, modafinil is often used as a "smart drug" or "nootropic" by the otherwise healthy general public. But unlike Adderall and Ritalin, it may not be as dangerous.

This Time.com article has some good points:

People other than college students who use Adderall: airplane pilots, business executives, writers, musicians

For people who are actually prescribed it, addiction rates are low

Addiction to Adderall can be subjective “Habits are not addictions, necessarily.” 

Studies really do show that prescription stimulants “consistently and significantly improve learning of materials that may be recalled days later” while also improving judgement

Many people who use it are overachievers who want to do even better, only about 10% use it just to get high

The ending does give you something to think about, though. A man name Leo Krass makes the point that as humans, we must be able to “accept our finite limits”. So, using Adderall “cheats ourselves out of ownership to our own success and damages our sense of self.” What do you think about this?
