Armodafinil reduces extreme sleepiness due to narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, such as periods of stopped breathing during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea). It is also used to help you stay awake during work hours if you have a work schedule that keeps you from having a normal sleep routine (shift work sleep disorder).    This medication does not cure these sleep disorders and may not get rid of all your sleepiness. Armodafinil does not take the place of getting enough sleep. It should not be used to treat tiredness or hold off sleep in people who do not have a sleep disorder.    It is not known how armodafinil works to keep you awake. It is thought to work by affecting certain substances in the brain that control the sleep/wake cycle.

Armodafinil, marketed as Nuvigil, is prescribed to enhance wakefulness in individuals experiencing excessive sleepiness caused by narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, or shift work sleep disorder. While it helps improve alertness, it is not a cure for these sleep disorders and should not replace adequate sleep. The exact mechanism by which armodafinil promotes wakefulness is not fully understood, but it is believed to influence certain brain areas that regulate sleep and wakefulness cycles. It is important to note that armodafinil should only be used under medical supervision and is not intended for use by those without sleep disorders to counteract tiredness or delay sleep.
