What Causes Severe Fatigue And Sleepiness?
Hello, my boyfriend is experiencing extreme fatigue he has slept 17 hours straight Friday into Saturday, and another 18 hours Saturday into Sunday. He wakes up feeling like he hasn t slept in days. He has little to no appetite, is having trouble concentrating and he says that he feels ok and then suddenly its like all his energy is drained and he needs to go to sleep. Any idea what could be causing this? He has never had anything like this before.
