Hi there...

I believe that you are suffering from depression as is evident from your excessive sleepiness.

Regular Exercise 30 minutes a day might help.
Sign up for yoga classes which is good for both the body and mind.
Get up ...go to a park and get some fresh air.
Think of doing some activity which interests you...dance , music, sports etc.
Read positive, motivational books by Robin Sharma etc.

If none of these help,then you might need counselling.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
