Rule out sleep apnea: Low oxygen levels at night due to sleep apnea can result in excessive somnolence and fatigue during the daytime. Full checkup including labs to rule out anemia, thyroid, or blood sugar problems. If narcolepsy determined through sleep evaluation, specific meds like Provigil might help.
