Modvigil is a drug that is known to keep people awake. It is mostly used to treat conditions like narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and shift work sleep disorder. Modvigil contains modafinil, a chemical that works on neurotransmitters in the brain to make you more alert.
For people with narcolepsy, Modvigil helps them stay awake during the day and less sleepy during the night. For people with OSA, it helps fight the sleepiness that comes from breathing stopping during sleep. People who have non-standard work plans can also use Modvigil to help with shift work sleep disorder. By encouraging people to stay awake, it helps them stay alert during work hours.
