A wakefulness-promoting agent (WPA), or wake-promoting agent, is a drug that increases wakefulness and arousal.[1][2][3] They are similar to but distinct from psychostimulants, which not only promote wakefulness but also produce other more overt central nervous system effects, such as improved mood, energy, and motivation.[1][4] Wakefulness-promoting agents are used to treat narcolepsy and hypersomnia as well as to promote wakefulness and increase performance in healthy people.[5][6][7]

A variety of different classes of drugs have shown wakefulness-promoting effects, including:[8][5][3][9]

Histamine and other histamine H1 receptor agonists also have wakefulness-promoting effects.[9][17][18] However, H1 receptor agonists as drugs are limited by their mediation of allergy-type symptoms.[18]

Certain other drugs are being studied as wakefulness-promoting agents as well, including GABAA receptor antagonists and negative allosteric modulators like clarithromycin, flumazenil, and pentylenetetrazol (pentetrazol), among others.[19]

Aside from the above-described wakefulness-promoting agents, the GHB and GABAB receptor agonist sodium oxybate or γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has been used in the treatment of narcolepsy.[20][8][5][3] Relatedly, some researchers have classified this drug as a stimulant-like agent.[20] However, GHB is taken at night and only results in improved wakefulness the next day following sleep.[20]

The related term "eugeroic" (or "eugregoric") means "vigilance-promoting".[5] It was introduced in 1987 in the French literature and has been used as an alternative term to refer to wakefulness-promoting drugs and to distinguish them from psychostimulants.[5] However, the term has usually been used to refer specifically to modafinil and its analogues, even to the exclusion of other wakefulness-promoting agents.[5][21][22] Moreover, the term has not been widely adopted in the scientific literature.[5] The discovery of wakefulness-promoting neurons and the orexin neuropeptides has prompted a terminological shift away from the concept of "vigilance-promoting" to "wakefulness-promoting".[5]
