Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi Danny,
Sleeplessness during night over a period of time can many times lead to increased somnolence during day time. I would have liked to know more details about your insomnia. Depending on the character and type of your insomnia, you need to be treated with medications or even psychological treatment. You should consult a psychiatrist immediately for management of insomnia. Proper treatment of insomnia can take care of your day time somnolence.
