Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are 35 years old and have complaints of sleepiness and fatigue. Your work is also stressful and this is most likely the reason for your symptoms. Persistent tiredness, fatigue, lack of energy can occur due to mild depression and should be properly evaluated. Medical causes like hypothyroidism, anaemias, vitamin deficiencies especially B12 deficiency etc also should be ruled out.

In most cases supplements containing Vitamin B12, Omega 3 Fatty Acids help to improve the symptoms and individuals feel better. If symptoms still persist then medicines like SSRIs can help. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc can help to reduce these symptoms. Please consult a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care
