Some ideas: First, have a physical from an internal medicine or primary care doc to rule out a medical cause of you excessive sleepiness like hypothyroidism, etc. After that, consider that you might not be getting satisfying sleep through the night which could be indicative of a sleep disorder. Also, excessive sleepiness can be a symptom of depression. A psychologist or psychiatrist can help with that.
