Modafinil Australia is a wake-promoting drug that has been shown to improve cognitive performance in shift workers. It works by affecting parts of the brain that control wakefulness and attention. It is important to know about potential side effects when taking this medication. Serious side effects have been reported in studies, including mental health-related ones such as mania and suicidal thoughts.

1. Dizziness

Dizziness is a very common complaint and there are many possible causes. The symptom can be caused by problems with your inner ear, feeling faint or side-effects of certain medicines.

The symptoms can be hard to describe, and they may feel like light-headedness or vertigo one time and then like a spinning sensation the next. It can make everyday activities difficult and dangerous.

3. Nausea

Nausea is a sensation that causes an urge to vomit. It is a time-varying process that involves sensorimotor, interoceptive and higher order cognitive processing pathways. Usually, nausea is concomitant with vomiting but there are some instances when the symptom occurs alone. Nausea is also characterized by prodromal symptoms such as cold sweating.1

The symptom is one of the most common medical problems among people and it can be disruptive to their work life.

5. Fatigue

Fatigue can be caused by a variety of physical and medical factors. If you are feeling tired on a regular basis, you should talk to your doctor.

NIOSH has resources to help address fatigue among workers with demanding work schedules. These include:

6. Sleepiness

Shift workers often rely on sleeping pills to help them sleep. Modalert 200 Australia can be effective, but they should only be used under a doctor's supervision and for short periods of time.

People who work overnight shifts are also at higher risk of accidents, especially when driving. They may also experience increased fatigue and a heightened risk of gastrointestinal problems and metabolic and immune system issues.

7. Nausea

The feeling of wanting to be sick (vomit). It is caused by a variety of factors. Nausea is usually present during or after exposure to a stimulus that can generate vomiting, but the cause may also be stomach awareness, anxiety, or anorexia. It is a time-varying interplay of intrinsic and changeable psychological states. It is often accompanied by prodromal signs, including cold sweating and pallor.

9. Fatigue

Fatigue is a common complaint among shift workers. It can lead to mistakes and may even cause accidents. For instance, after 17 hours of being awake, a person’s driving ability is similar to that of someone with a 0.05% blood alcohol level.

Demanding work schedules, long work hours and inadequate sleep can increase fatigue. This can result in workplace accidents, injuries and poor health.

10. Nausea

Nausea is an unpleasant sensation that may or may not lead to vomiting. It is a symptom that can be caused by many different things, including food poisoning, motion sickness and some medications.

Nausea is triggered by an interaction between the brain and areas within the gut. It can be experienced by people of all ages, and can occur alone or with vomiting.
