In popular culture
In the film The Invasion [2007], Nicole Kidman is seen rummaging in a pharmacy for some wakefulness promoting agents. She grabs a bottle of "modifinil" 1 gram dosage. The common dosages for modafinil are 100 mg and 200 mg. The premise of the movie is that an alien virus works its evil during sleep so she needs to stay awake until she finds a cure.
In the television series Stargate SG-1, the season 10 [2007] episode "Morpheus" features the Stargate team infected by a disease which apparently caused a town to die in its sleep. The team struggles to stay awake and is provided with a variety of stimulants, as Colonel Mitchel takes out various bottles and reads their labels he finds one and reads "Modia... something", a likely reference to the European branding of Modafinil—Modiodal.
In the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the season 8 [2007] episode "Cockroaches" has CSI Warrick Brown suffering from stress related insomnia due to his divorce. He is shown taking a prescription for 100 mg modafinil to help him stay "alert" at work, but a co-worker becomes concerned that he is taking the pills too often and is taking them in conjunction with a prescription for sleeping pills (which are later referred to as Zolpidem).
In the Legacy of the Aldenata series of science fiction novels, the drug is referred to by the trade name Provigil and is used by military personnel in combination with a powerful stimulant to remain alert.
