Sleep disorder: A good history and physical and evaluation for anemia, thyroid, liver or kidney problems, infections like mononucleosis and Lyme are a must. Then, paradoxically, increasing your exercise level, very, very gradually - while exercising every day, can help with fatigue and sleep problems. Best wishes.
