What Causes Sleepiness Even During The Day?

I sleep a lot during the day even though I sleep well at night. I have extremely vivid dreams of all kinds of things. But sleeping during the day feels so good that I might as well die right there and id be happy...sounds weird but that s how it is. I go through periods of this where I have energy for a couple of weeks and get so much done and then months of total tiredness. has been happening since I was 14, Im now 50. Im a successful person in my life but this has just been such an issue that Ive even taken time of work just to sleep, or sleeping in the day or most weekends.
