Military pilots and special forces, including in Israel, use modafinil to stay alert for up to 40 hours without sleep, with studies showing performance similar to rested individuals.
Fighter pilots and special operations forces, including in Israel, are increasingly using modafinil to stay alert during missions up to 40 hours without sleep.
Unlike older stimulants, it promotes sustained wakefulness with fewer side effects and lower addiction risk, working by boosting brain chemicals linked to alertness.
Studies show it maintains performance comparable to rested pilots in simulations.
Used off-label for focus, it is closely monitored by military and medical teams, with risks deemed outweighed by dangers of fatigue.
It does not replace sleep, and microsleeps remain a concern.
