Narcolepsy isn't directly caused by sleep deprivation, although continuous sleep loss can worsen symptoms and lead to the disease in predisposed people. Artvigil 150, which contains armodafinil, relieves narcolepsy-related daytime drowsiness. Sleep debt affects the sleep-wake cycle, which may cause narcolepsy-like REM sleep patterns. Chronic sleep disruptions may also affect neurotransmitter modulation, affecting sleep architecture and worsening narcolepsy. Artvigil 150 improves wakefulness and cognitive performance, however sleep hygiene issues must be addressed to reduce daytime sleepiness. Patients with persistent sleep issues or narcolepsy symptoms should consult a doctor for a diagnosis and therapy.
