Mainly a stimulant, allegedly nonaddictive.

That does not address sleep deprivation effects, physical or mental.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Generally nonaddictive (no worse than ritalin or adderall); prescribed for narcolepsy but also used off-label for ADD, with results comparable to ritalin or adderall.  Works on dopamine in a different way than ritalin or adderall, and doesn't have as dramatic drop-off side effects as those two when it wears off.  There is a new forumalation - nuvigil - that appears to have a longer effective time for each dose.
