What Causes Hypersomnia In An Elderly Person?
I feel sleepy by 1:00 pm in the afternoon. I sleep well at night and get plenty of sleep. I drink plenty of water all day. I feel like all I want to do; is just close my eyes. Usually by 4:00 to 5:00 pm I do have to rest for a while. I am a person that likes to sew, cook and in general stay busy all day. I do not want to stop and rest. I am 71 years old.
