I have recently been employed at a job which requires me to be handle telephone calls in the wee hours of the night. But I have been handicapped by excessive sleepiness which understandably leads to a drawback in my output. Being in an earnest need of a job I do not want to give up the job for the sake of my sleepiness. Though I do not know whether it is advisable but I still ask is there any drug which can make me keep alert during such timings?

If the job is dear to you then you might have go for the stimulant drug Provigil which according to studies have shown benefits in inducing alertness and concentration but there are debates regarding the fact of the sleepiness being absolutely waded off. Moreover it can become difficult to adjust to such timings and I am sorry to say that some never do cope with such timings. Though some individuals do go for the drug as already said efficiency regarding controlling sleepiness is questionable. Choice is yours.
