I've added 'the same' as a third option to the generic vs brand-name question, and 2 questions about average hours of sleep a night & body weight.

I would add a question "When was the last time you used modafinil?" to see whether people are on aggregate right about how many days per week they use it.

What would the response there be, an exact date or n days ago or what?

I would guess that a majority of the respondents haven't testing multiple kind of modafinil and thus are not equipped to answer the question at all. "I don't know" seems to be the proper answer for them.

Alright, I've added a don't-know option and added a 'when did you last use' question.
