Hi. I also get more "natural" energy at night time. It is weird that you have to take meds to stay awake during the day and then have to take meds to sleep at night. It is very frustrating but at least you know that I have the same symptoms.
Kind Regards

I am not a medical person. I am a male person who has narcolepsy.

Questions - Do you take a med to keep you awake during daylight hours? If yes, is that med completely out of your system by evening?

I think there are only a few common hard-and-fast rules when dealing with narcolepsy. I'm thinking that each person's body, while similar, is not Exactly the same as someone else.

I can think this, & I can think that, but ... I cannot Know for certain because My narcolepsy does not behave like Your narcolepsy. Too many variables that affect the outcome.

My best answer ... ask your sleep specialist.
