Hello
Welcome to HCM.
Your problem of excessive sleepiness deserves medical attention.
The cause of hypersomnia must be searched for.
Sleep apnea and narcolepsy must be ruled out.
You should visit your psychiatrist and go for sleep-eeg.
For now you can take tablet provigil 100mg one tablet every morning.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
