Default Re: tilt explained (by neuroscience)

Any thoughts on using Modafinil for alertness or long sessions?

It's like coffee, without the side effects or the need to force it down (if you don't like the taste of coffee, like me). It lasts a long time, is very mild, and won't affect your sleep as long as you don't take it close to bedtime.

In my experience, it's not strong enough to reverse tiredness (like taking it at 7 a.m. after an all-nighter), although it will help you stay awake for a small time. It's most effective when taken in the morning after some sleep -- like when you know you have a long day ahead. Mainly, it just tricks your brain into thinking you're fully awake when you may not be.

I don't think it will have any affect whatsoever on a player's ability to avoid tilt.
