Interferes With Sleep, But Ineffective After 3 Days Usage.

SunSpott Says:
The 250 mg of Nuvigil I take in the morning kicks in in about 2 hours and interferes with my ability to sleep at night. The 20 mg of melatonin I take makes me slightly sleepy for about 20 minutes after which I'm wide awake, again. After 3 days, however, Nuvigil does not work. I skip 2 days, and Nuvigil begins to work again. It's difficult to schedule life.

Melatonin actually doesn't help put you to sleep, it resets your internal body clock to restore normal sleep cycles, but it can take awhile of regular use for it to do so.
As to the Nuvigil, it could be that it just isn't the right medication to help you. Have you informed your doctor about the problems you're having? You may need to try something else.
The FDA warns that stimulants carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and anorexia.
