What Causes Excessive Daytime Sleepiness?
I have been having an issue with daytime sleepiness for quite a while now. I sleep all night through but wake up in the morning so sleepy I have to force myself out of bed. I close my eyes at stop lights because I can t keep my eyes open. I type at work and I take a very quick catnap in the middle of typing. I look down and I will have a list of zzzzzzzzzzz or ppppppppp when I zoned out with my finger on that key. I can t lay still or I am out like a light. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Excessive day time sleeping can be due to improper sleeping during night. This can occur due to obstructive sleep apnea or Sinusitis or hypertension. Better to rule out this by checking your blood pressure and examination by ENT specialist.

Take care
