> Have you by any chance already tried Provigil or its overseas cousin adrafinil?No, I haven't. I have tried Permax and Mirapex. Liked the Permax better. May be retrying that one sometime soon. I will read up on the Provigil/Adrafinil

I'm a bit skeptical about this, at least in terms of the *degree* of correlation claimed.
