| I'm narcoleptic, but my case is atypical. Without some kind of medication I get nothing but REM sleep, leaving me as tired as I was when I went to bed. A little bit of marijuana along with a dose of Trazodone before bed allows me to get at least a little deep sleep, which has helped tremendously with daytime sleepiness. I used to use another prescription drug along with the Trazodone, but it left me feeling doped up until the middle of the afternoon. I don't know what it could do for typical narcolepsy. Since it makes most people sleepy, it would seem to be contraindicated.
