Best Answer

Yes! As a diagnosed Narcoleptic, I have found tremendous relief through cannabis. I was prescribed Provigil to manage my narcolepsy. It worked for a while but then began to cause severe depression so I took myself off of it. I have found that Sativa strains of cannabis help ensure that I stay awake during the day. It is not even necessary to be constantly high or anything. A couple tokes a day does it. I have also found that at night to get to deeper sleep Indica strains or smoking more of a Sativa than during the day helps a lot.
