Comment on Meditation on Hacker News: What are you guys experience with meditation?

Comments

Compares favorably to modafinil. Well, in my case modafinil tends to give headaches, so it loses by default, but comparing 50 mg to 10 minutes of meditation:

- meditation works faster - 10 minutes compared to about 1 hour for modafinil

- meditation tends to be shorter term (but it varies) - 2-4 hours vs ~6

- modafinil has several side effects (though your mileage may vary)

- meditation kills most of my social instincts. Unless I focus on interaction, I tend to be really quiet and slightly non-responsive. But if I do try to focus on being social, it's ok.
