Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Excessive sleepiness is called hypersomnia. Conditions That Can Cause Sleepiness include drug, alcohol, or cigarette use, lack of physical activity, obesity, and the use of certain medications. But nodding off when you want or need to be awake may also be caused by an underlying condition. Depression or a sleep disorder -- such as restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea, or narcolepsy are also common causes of problem sleepiness. Please consult your physician to get a clear picture. Do not worry. You will be cured.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
