Good idea...: Nuvigil is medication helping to stay awake in extreme situations as " sleep shift work disorder, narcolepsy, OSA- sleep apnea..travel across time zone ..If sleep apnea major problem ... definitely weight loss is very effective. Most people with sleep apnea are obese . Check with your doctor.
