Northside Hospital's Sleep Medicine Institute is the only sleep center in Georgia selected to study the effects of Provigil, an FDA approved medication used to treat other sleep disorders, for improving alertness in sleep apnea patients using nasal continuous positive airway pressure.

Adults 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are still sleepy, despite being treated with CPAP are eligible for the study. All evaluations — including laboratory, medical exams, sleep studies and treatment — will be performed at no cost to participants. For information, call the study coordinator, Tim Richardson, at 404-851-9934.
