Far more people work very early morning shifts than overnight schedules, yet many struggle with severe fatigue linked to shift work disorder. This condition can interfere with concentration, job performance, and safety. A new clinical trial led by researchers at Mass General Brigham found that the wake-promoting drug solriamfetol (Sunosi) helped early morning shift workers stay more alert. The findings were published in NEJM Evidence.
