Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is not normal to bleed or spot for more than a week and to have secretions more than 6 weeks.
I think you are anemic due to excessive bleeding and this is causing fatigue and sleepiness. Go to gynecologist to evaluate the bleeding situation. It needs to be solved soon. Do a total blood count because iron deficiency anemia is suspected.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
