Modafinil 200mg : Good-Bye to Daytime Sleepiness
Modafinil 200mg is a potent medicine that helps you stay awake during those drowsy spells, which happen due to wakefulness at night. It alters the neurotransmitters in the brain to cope with the urge to sleep during the day, caused by sleepless nights from sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift work sleep.
Conditions that call for Modafinil 200mg
What are the consequences of the above conditions?
Well, sleeplessness at bedtime.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing while asleep, and then restarts breathing again. This happens because the muscles of the throat relax and block the air passage. So sleep is intermittent and you are mostly awake, rather than asleep.
Narcolepsy is a condition in which you would experience sudden sleep attacks at unusual hours, loss of muscle tone and really vivid hallucinations.
Shift work sleep is a disorder that hits the circadian cycle of people whose work schedule extends into their normal sleep hours.
All three result in the irresistible urge to sleep during your normal wakeful or work hours. Modafinil branded Provigil reduces the overwhelming urge to sleep during your wakeful hours.
