What Causes Excessive Day Time Sleepiness?
background: for the last several years - I wake up at 4 am or after 6 hrs of sleep, which ever comes first. I walk 1 mile outdoors. i have a good quality protein shake with my vitamins. in the last month - by 9am I am falling asleep at my desk. I am wondering why? but also could I be low in Iron? I ve been anemic in past years but haven t been tested for that in the last few years.

Hello,
You have to sleep longer and better in order not to get sleepy at work.
Sleep for 8 hours and don't get up at 4 am but at 6 am.
Do a total blood count to get checked for anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
