Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Irregular sleep habit is main cause possibly. Try to sleep for at least 8-9 hours in night. Sleep at regular times.
2. Check hemoglobin levels as it can cause weakness and sleep.
3. Exercise moderately and have a nutritional diet
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
