The fast pacing world today knows no fixed working hours. Be
it day or night, people work all the time. Some people work during the day while some work
at night. This blog is for the night shift workers who experience difficulty during
work and are unable to focus on the work for most part.
First off, let us look at the fact that the biological clock
is very innate to the individual. We, human beings, are more programmed to work
during the day. The physiological activities are regulated on a daily, monthly
or regular basis. Any disruption of the cycle can cause a lot of disorders,
ailments that may affect the physiological and the psychological health of the
individual.
So how do the night shift workers manage to do so?
Quite frankly, these people rest and sleep during the day. They
take ample rest during the day and thereby make their body prepared and rested
enough to tackle the challenges of the day. But the downside is that the person
cannot at times adjust with the biological change and many ailments may arise.
One such ailment is a sleeping disorder called Shift Work disorder.
Shift Work disorder is the ailment that arises when the
shift period overlaps that of the regular sleeping period.
Some of the key
characteristics of the disorder are:
- Excessive sleepiness
- Insomnia
- Insufficient sleep
- Lack of energy
- Difficulty in maintaining focus
- Irritability or depression.
People therefore need a medication that can help them stay
awake with elevated moods to go through the shift. Smart Drugs are a popular
choice in this regard. And what better for the smart category than the very
popular Modafinil smart drug or any of its derivative drugs.
Modalert is one such derivative smart drug developed from
the Modafinil compound. Modalert
is FDA Approved and has been used by the people all over the world efficiently
and effectively. Modalert is however a milder brand version of the Modafinil
smart drug family and therefore the chances of the person being in serious
condition after taking the pill are pretty low.
However one should exercise proper precautions while the
consumption of the smart drug. We will
get to that later.

neurotransmitter. This makes the Dopamine neurotransmitter to be collected in
the form of a pool in the vicinity of the uptake region. This pool creation is
used up gradually by the body for its purposes. Other hormones like Histamine,
Norepinephrine and Serotonin are also increased. This helps in the proper
cognitive enhancement of the brain and subsequent activeness of the person.
