You may have absence seizure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I think, you may have absence seizure. Absence seizures are characterized by a brief loss and return of consciousness, generally not followed by a period of lethargy. In your case, You have loss of consciousness with letharginess. Usually, tiredness is not seen in absence seizure, but in few cases, it happen. Better to get your EEG done and consult a neurologist. That would help you to get a diagnosis and in further treatment.
In case, you have more query, you can ask.
