My energy and mental focus have plummeted the last few months. What should I do?

About 4 months ago I started feeling more sleepy than normal.  Jumping to about 10 hours of sleep a night, anything less and I would feel extremely fatigued.  For the past month its gotten worse to 11 hours and night.  I feel fatigued even with that amount of sleep and quite a lot more fatigued with anything less.  This past month my mental focus has also declined a lot to where I have a hard time focusing on anything further than a foot past my eyes.  What I see isn't blurry, my eyes feel fine.  But my brain feels foggy.  I forget things a bit more.  I just feel like my brain's battery is on emergency energy saving mode all the time.  I go to work and come home and lay down in my bed.  I hardly see friends and hardly have energy to focus on creative projects - film making and editing have been on hold.  I've also been a very active person in the past, playing sports, working a physical job (roofing), and going to the gym multiple times a week.  I make sure vegetables are in my everyday diet and am always drinking 4 liters of water a day.  I have no clue whats going on, my life is on hold and am feeling quite desperate.  Any advice is welcome.  Especially with what to tell Doctors because on the outside I don't have any outward symptoms like rashes or pain and it feels like I've been made a very low priority case.. but something is most definitely off and the last thing I want is the feeling of depression again.
