Modafinil in the morning - Melatonin at night. Your thoughts?

I have decided to start 200mg Modafinil in the morning when I wake up. I have been reading about it for several days (user accounts, general information, forums etc) and think that various symptoms I have would benefit from it.
I generally have trouble with regular sleeping times and so I am going to try to help regulate this with Melatonin.
Many reviews have suggested that regular Modafinil use over a period of time stops being effective so I'm going to dose every second day or so. Sometimes less sometimes more. Anyone with similar experiences, I would be very keen to hear from you.
I suffer from depression and depersonalisation yet am switched on and self aware. I know what I need and want to do with my time but find it so hard to focus, maintain enthusiasm or commit to anything for a period of time.
I am putting a lot of faith in this avenue of self medication.

Eh, even at $2/pill, Modafinil is still much cheaper than grabbing a coffee. Caffeine would be cheaper if taken in pill form, or brewed at home. And let's be honest, most of the world doesn't do that.

I do, and I suggested that to him in my other reply. $10 for 100 pills at 200mg each. Not to mention, modafinil is not going to replace his caffeine dependence.
