Suggest Remedy For Feeling Sleepy
Hi, it is well documented that I do not sleep much, about 3-4 hours daily except on sundays where I spend 8-9hours sleeping. Its been like this over 10years. I am 21years heading into 22years soon. January 2011, I started school and I am doing very well. However as of early this month, I tend to become very sleepy, almost all the time. I take vitamins very regular( iron,gape seed and for the brain). I am a semi active person, living on my own. This is a trouble some situation, because of my tight timetable, I can not afford to waste time.Thank you.

Dear friend I need to know details if what are your thoughts. Are you depressed often.if yes then all these can be due to depression in which both insomnia and hypersomnia can occur.
then treatment of depression can help you.
next it may simple hypersomnia without depression for which first you need to check your thyroid test,vit b12 level ,serum cortisol level. If no abnormality found then modafinil may help. But you need to visit a psychiatrist for that.
