  • I have an alarm that goes off an hour before I need to get up to take my stimulants. I find modafinil increases my dopamine levels. helps me focus, reduces drowsiness. I’ve used it for 24+ hour drives as well, and if i use it to stay awake that long on purpose, i am definitely wired.

    I technically have a diagnosis of “sleep work shift disorder”, which is one of the only things that’s approved for, and there’s no test for it other than, “are you working when you’d rather be sleeping? and are you sleeping when you’d rather be awake? okay you have it.” I don’t like Adderall or Ritalin or Strattera

    I definitely can’t get high on it, they only made it controlled because college students were trading around like you said, but honestly you could make this stuff available over the counter, you can already get ephedrine that way and I’d say that’s considerably more dangerous

    it’s how I crate trained my dog. I adopted him when he was two and he was terrified of the crate. I would put him in the same room as the crate, put high value food in it, shredded cheese, deli meats, and then leave the room. slowly I would feed him more and more normal things as I got closer and closer while he was in the crate. pretty quickly I was feeding him all of his meals in there, but he would always watch till I left the room before going in.

    anytime he earned a treat, for sitting, or laying down or whatever, he had to go into the crate to get the treat. at the beginning I would have to toss it into the back of the crate and then leave the room for him to go get it, eventually he was running into the crate waiting for the treat.

    within about 2 months he was sleeping in the crate with the door open
