Drugs classified as wakefulness-promoting drugs include Artvigil 150 mg. An armodafinil derivative, the active component, is included in it. Narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work sleep disorder are among the sleep disorders for which armodafinil is typically prescribed as a treatment for excessive sleepiness.

It's unclear how precisely Artvigil works, although it's thought to function by interfering with several brain chemicals, such as norepinephrine and dopamine. The regulation of sleep and wakefulness is aided by these neurotransmitters.

People who use Artvigil report feeling more alert, focused, and with better cognitive performance. It is frequently taken off-label by people who want to increase their productivity or control problems that involve exhaustion and excessive thirst.
