For the last few months I can’t keep my eyes open. I have been though strenuously studying all day everyday. It doesn’t happen when I’m active, only when I’m concentrating on something, like reading or watching TV, I sleep ok at night, help!!😴

    I have been experiencing the same.  My GP thinks that by not going to bed until 23.00 and getting up at 05.30, I am getting insufficient at night of my 8 hours nighttime sleep.  Recommendation : go to be at 21.30 with 1/2 zopiclone to prolong night time sleep.  Started this routine about 3 weeks ago.  Seems to work most nights (but not all) so far

    Look into narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. That could be the cause of your excessive daytime sleepiness!
