? sleep disorder: Daytime sleepiness can be due to narcolepsy, or nitetime sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movements, if you have a sleep disorder. In some patients, the sleepy sensation may be associated with fatigue, or exhaustion, and this could be seen with anemias, thyroid problems, and even depression. This should be evaluated, as all of these problems can be fixed.
