What Causes Urge To Sleep In Spite Of Ample Rest?
for no reason, at times, at least twice a day, I feel as though I need to sleep, so much that my eyes want to force close and I have to fight it if I am driving to get to a safe place to stop. I will be sitting in my chair at home and find myself waking up. I am in good shape, do p90x for my work out, and sleep at least six hours a night min. I eat good, and have not had any major medical problems.

Well, there are a number of factors that can cause urge to sleep during the day, like your age, sex, your profession, habits, physical ailments, substance abuse, psychiatric ailments (stress disorder, depression).If you could give a detailed history of the above mentioned relevant factors, only then it will be possible to narrow down on a diagnosis.
