I'm not sure why a doctor would prescribe Valium to someone with narcolepsy - stimulants like Adderall can often leave someone feeling strung out, burnt out, and even more tired in the long run... versus something like Provigil (aka modafinil) which is non-narcotic and promotes awareness and wakefulness.
Modafinil has a half-life of about 12 hours. This is the time taken for half its contents to be eliminated by your body. It really depends on how much is your personal tolerance; For some people sensitive to modafinil, less than half a dose (50mg is sufficient to keep them awake). To them, modafinil could very well last over 16 hours.
