It’s unthinkable in commercial air transport where pilots are accountable not just for their aircraft but also hundreds of lives at the back — being on stimulants would get them grounded. But I guess it can be a thing in the air force because mil pilots may be called upon to do multiple sorties at odd hours, and the mission trumps everything

modafinil and nicotine both have cognitive-enhancing effects but differ significantly in their mechanisms and safety profiles. modafinil is a prescription medication often used to treat narcolepsy and other sleep disorders. it's known for promoting wakefulness and enhancing cognitive functions like attention and memory without the addictive potential associated with nicotine. nicotine can enhance focus and alertness, but its addictive nature and potential health risks, such as cardiovascular issues, make it less ideal for long-term use. modafinil may have fewer side effects, and its non-addictive profile makes it a preferable option for many seeking cognitive enhancement. however, individual responses can vary, and it's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any medication.

Modafinil doesn't really improve focus. It gives a consistent feeling of wakefulness. Basically, the chemical your brain produces that wakes you up when you have to pee gets some extra production. I haven't used any for like 20 years, but it's neat for what it is. Keeps you awake without any jitters or buzz etc.
