Hello and welcome to HCM,
Having the desire to sleep again after sleeping overnight and feeling fatigued could be due to disturbed sleep during night.
Overweight individuals often suffer from disturbed sleep and fatigue the other day.
In case a history of disturbed sleep is present, you need to consult a pulmonologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
The other problem that you have is that of CSF leak.
What is the site of CSF leak?
CSF leakage can occur from nose, ear etc.
Kindly write in detail about the site of CSF leak so that more information can be given regarding CSF leakage.

Thanks and take care
