What Is Modafinil?
Modafinil is a medication that reduces extreme sleepiness from narcolepsy and other sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea. Modafinil can also be used to help you stay awake while you are at work, especially if you have a nontraditional work schedule. It is important to note that Modafinil does not cure sleep disorders and may not completely get rid of all your sleepiness. Modafinil should not be used as a replacement for proper sleep or to hold off sleep for people who have not been diagnosed with a sleeping disorder.
