Narcolepsy patients may wake up differently. Narcolepsy, a neurological illness, causes unexpected, uncontrollable sleep periods during the day, making getting up harder. Treatment and management can help narcolepsy patients maintain a normal sleep-wake cycle. Narcolepsy patients are often taken modalert 200mg to increase wakefulness and minimize daytime sleepiness. Modalert 200 can improve alertness and cognition, but it cannot replace healthy sleep and lifestyle practices. It helps people with narcolepsy stay awake during the day by activating brain neurotransmitters.
