A member asked:
Can you tell me natural remedies for excessive daytime sleepiness or narcolepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need information: There are no proven natural remedies for what you state above. Rather, with limited information above you may have poor sleep hygiene (sleeping early and getting 8 hours total) or even sleep apnea, where you unintentionally stop breathing periodically during your sleep, resulting in poor sleep quality. The danger in excessive daytime sleepiness is car accidents, so please see your physician ASAP.
