Sleep is an important part of the day. Much like we work day
and night for the pursuit of our dreams, we slowly and slowly get exhausted by
draining our physical and mental energy. But as time goes on, the body is not
able to cope up with the strain of the world. Sleeping disorders set in causing
a lot of discomfort to the user. Some of the most common sleeping disorders are
Narcolepsy, sleep apnea, etc.
Sleeping disorders are often treated with smart drugs. The most
common form of smart drug compound is Modafinil. In fact Modafinil is the world’s
first smart drug to be approved for the treatment of sleeping disorders and
cognitive enhancement of the user.
As time passed though, Armodafinil based drugs were
developed and this brought on a whole new avenue of opportunities for the user.
Armodafinil based drugs like Nuvigil
are very much helpful in the treatment of these disorders. Let us look at how
Nuvigil works.
The Armodafinil compound in the Nuvigil
smart pill initially stimulates the Orexin receptors (OX1 and OX2) in
the body. After this, the Orexin peptide (also known as Hypocretin peptide) is
activated by the influence of this smart drug. The Orexin peptide is accountable
for the wakefulness, appetite and the arousal feelings of the user. The
Dopamine neurotransmitter is now interacted upon. The Dopamine neurotransmitter
is created by the body in the Hypothalamus region. Dopamine is responsible for
the cognition and the wakefulness of the user. The reuptake of the Dopamine
neurotransmitter is inhibited by the Armodafinil compound or any of its brand
version drug, in this case, Nuvigil.
This inhibition causes a pool of Dopamine to be formed in the surrounding area
of the reuptake point. This excess of Dopamine neurotransmitter is later used
by the body later during the day. Other hormones like Norepinephrine, Histamine
and Serotonin are also increased. These actions give the user the mentioned
euphoric effect that helps the user take better polished decisions
Nuvigil, being a Armodafinil based drug lasts for around 15
hours. Let us now see the specific uses of the Nuvigil smart drug.
