Question : Hi,
I'm having a problem with sleep. My doctor diagnosed sleep depravation. The main problem is I start falling asleep while I'm actually doing physical work. I've adjusted my schedule so I get more sleep but this is still continuing to be a problem. Do you have any suggestions?

Brief Answer:
Please do the following

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM

I can understand your concern

According to the history you provide if you were my patient I would recommend you to do some blood tests such as Melatonin, ACTH ,and TSH levels to evaluate the function of the above hormones because if they are altered than it might be the cause of sleep deprivation.

Please discuss with your doctor for the above and when you have the results you can attach them to me and I can advise you further

Regards
