Narcolepsy and insomnia are as dangerous for health and safety as lack of food and water. Modafinil, an FDA approved prescription stimulant sold under the name Provigil, can be the guardian angel for those suffering from the inability to sleep or suffer from irregular sleep cycles; including shift workers or emergency workers experiencing shift work sleep disorder (SWSD), patients suffering from sleep apnea, or obstructive sleep apnea with hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and narcoleptics. Although only approved by the FDA for narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and obstructive sleep apnea (with or without hypopnea), Modafinil has also been used to treat depression, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, cocaine addiction, multiple sclerosis and other disorders where fatigue is a common side effect, such as cancer. It is not safe for use in children and adolescents.
