Eat ~100mg of caffeine really quickly (like a caffeine pill or slamming some coffee maybe) and immediately set a 20 min to 45 min timer and get into bed. Fall asleep and depending on your condition you will feel mildly to very refreshed after you wake up. You'll probably be up even before your timer goes off if it's on the longer side.
i do this with modafinil sometimes if I need to sleep a short amount (~4h). take pill, go to sleep immediately before it sets in. wake up and you're already wired. i hate capitalism so much it's unreal
kind of like the coffee effect but don't want to get addicted so I haven't gotten myself a source of caffeine besides occasional coffee shop dates
Modafinil is way more expensive than caffeine. So if you are going to get addicted to one the latter is better. You can probably buy a 2 pound bag of chinise restaurant tea for 30 usd thats about 1000 cuups of tea. While modafinil is what 14 tablets for the same price?
I took Modafinil for a couple years, never developed a physical dependency on it, while I get nasty headaches if I don't get caffeine. It'd be like $0.25 for a day's moda.
Thats a lot cheaper than what i get them for. There is no reason not to indulge then.
