It's a very subjective question. Modafinil makes me feel Not Tired. That's pretty much it. Not amped up, not hyper focused, just very awake. If you're having trouble focusing because your tired then this is a huge improvement. But I don't think it's much better than just being actually well rested.

Tolerance didn't seem like a huge issue, but I also wasn't taking it every day.

Tolerance does happen with modafinil, but sensitivity increases again very rapidly for most people, so if you don't take it every day you might never start noticing it.
