Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Lack of energy and sleepiness could be due to physical illness or mental fatigue. If you are feeling so tired all the time, the first thing to do is a fasting sugar test and Thyroid function tests.

At your age, these are two common causes of tiredness/fatigue. For your height of 5.7, your weight seems to be quite high. Obesity itself can cause tiredness. You may also need to rule out few hormone conditions which can cause tiredness.
