uses in breathing during sleep), narcolepsy (a sleep disease that causes excessive daytime sleepiness), and shift work sleep disorder (SWD - excessive sleepiness due to uncommon working schedules like graveyard shifts, early morning shifts, or rotational shifts). Waklert 150 mg Tablet contains the stimulant 'Armodafinil,' which is classified as a 'central nervous system (CNS) stimulant.'

These adverse effects, on the other hand, are only transient and normally go away on their own after a while.
