Might i have a sleep problem or other reason for lethargy?

Many possibilities: There are many possible reasons for lethargy -- including sleep problems, thyroid problems, and depression. I suggest discussing this with your family physician first, and s/he can evaluate or make any referrals needed. Good luck to you.

Sleep disorder: An inadequate amount of sleep, poor quality sleep or many other sleep disorders may cause drowsiness, lethargy, attention deficit issues, etc. A complete workup by someone trained in sleep medicine can help unravel some of the issues involved.
