What is the best nootropic for someone looking primarily for a boost of energy and motivation that's stronger than caffeine but less extreme than amphetamines?

I've been trying to get into a workout routine but I'm hitting a roadblock in regards to my motivation and energy level. I have issues sleeping so I take 6mg of melatonin each night. This works great for getting me to bed and I feel fine on the days I get to sleep in as late as I want but when I have to forcibly wake myself up early I get stuck in this cloud of lethargy and apathy where I have no energy to do anything and no motivation to even try. This, of course, makes working out, even from home, a chore and a bore.

I'm pretty new to the whole nootropics thing and I understand certain nootropics work best to help certain aspects of your life or mental processing and others won't do much of anything to help, so can anyone suggest something to give me an energy boost that's stronger than caffeine but not as jittery/euphoric as amphetamines and perhaps something to clear up the apathy and give me a little more focus and motivation?

Thanks!

Isn't modafinil hard to get?

Relative to other substances like aspirin, yes. But ordering it from online sources is just as easy as buying noopept or anything else. It just takes a little longer to get through customs.

Noopept making me boring?

Replying to throwawaynootropics · I've replaced caffeine with Ashwagandha and moderate tea drinking. Bacopa left me feeling kind of tired a few hours after taking it.

Yeah, bacopa has a period that it can make you tired. I always stack it with caffeine, modafinil, or ephedrine. I would never just take it on its own. It actually levels out the stimulants pretty well.

Replying to gooracetam · Lower your expectations. Most of the shit that gets promoted around here has very subtle effects, if any at all. There is a good reason that "stacking with caffeine" is mentioned s
