A member asked:
Is it safe to take 400mg of modafinil per day for chronic fatigue due to a lack of sleep ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely but: Healthwise it will be better to try to normalize your sleep pattern than trying to counteract it with medication. Eventually the modafinil will likely become less and less effective since nothing can compensate for sleep deprivation besides sleep.
