I felt fully awake and ready to keep reading. And I did keep reading. It just… didn’t work. I’d have trouble following simple proofs. I’d fail at parsing sentences that were quite clear after resting.
Even if you felt fully awake, have you tried taking a nap instead of just waiting for the next day?
I’ve had this exact problem, and napping used to be my main solution. More recently I’ve found that adrafinil works really well for this. I can now crank through dense textbooks for most of the day with the help of a pill.
Interestingly, adrafinil appears to be metabolized to modafinil. I’ve had an interest in the latter for some time but never tried it because it’s restricted in the U.S. Adrafinil apparently isn’t. Is it easily available?
I get it from antiaging-systems.com. It’s about a third the cost of modafinil and doesn’t require a prescription or anything. The one warning is that the same process which metabolizes adrafinil to modafinil stresses the liver a bit. Mild, but good to keep in mind.
