Summary

This study tested whether the drug solriamfetol can reduce excessive sleepiness in people who start work very early (between 3 and 6 AM). About 84 adults with shift work disorder took part. Researchers measured how long they could stay awake in a quiet setting and asked about their sleepiness levels. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
