The inability to remain alert, whether due to narcolepsy or excessive work hours, has profound effects on an individual's ability to function effectively. The goal of my research is to improve current methods of treating the excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, and to improve the safety of hospitalized patients by ensuring that the nurses caring for them are free of fatigue.
