The physical effects of modafinil can be broken down into several components. These are described below and generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, ~~Modafinil~~ is commonly considered to be stimulating and energetic, but can be considered as much less stimulating when compared to [[amphetamine]]. This stimulation encourages physical movement and activities such as running, playing sports, socializing, and/or exercising.

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]''' - The above components are also accompanied by a suppression of appetite which is usually ~~much~~ less intense in strength in comparison to the appetite suppression experienced with [[amphetamine]].

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]''' - The above components are also accompanied by a suppression of appetite which is usually less intense in strength in comparison to the appetite suppression experienced with [[amphetamine]].
