Personal experience? Google says good things about it (all hail the
great one).

For those who've read "A deepness in the sky" by Vinge, I'd love a
temporary "focus" pill, just to be able to plough through things and get
them done. I find I have that ability built in already, but I'm not able
to turn it on at will; it comes and goes as it likes, leaving me at the
mercy of the high seas.

Adrafinil does the same thing as modafinil, which I (not sure which
email I was using at that time) posted a good deal about my personal
experiences with a few months back.  I have a few boxes of both sitting
above my computer at this very moment. Short version: From my
experiences, its great for keeping you awake and alert, although I
wouldn’t say it made me more able to focus then if I was otherwise awake
and alert.  If you are tired it certainly will help keep you awake and
focused but if you are already awake it seems to have little effect.
