Balancing Life with an Exhausting Disability

I have been diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy about 12 years now, and trying to find a way to balance life with an exhausting disability. Last night I had a terrible reaction to my Xywav and went by ambulance to the hospital. I spoke to my doctor today and we are going to switch from Sunosi and Ritalin during the day, with Xywav at night to Wakix. Anyone have an Idea on sleep aids other than sedatives? Any thoughts on Wakix?
