What is Provigil? (I am in Australia) Is it like dexedrine or something?

A prescription medicine for people with sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.

They prescribe modafinil for sleep apnea? I have apnea and I'm curious because I've never heard this. I've heard it is used for narcolepsy.

It's a brand name for modafinil.
