Sleep: It's very concerning to be this tired that you cannot stay awake during driving. It may be obstructive sleep apnea or other causes of fatigue. Please consult a physician.

Be evaluated: Excessive sleepiness should be evaluated by your doctor to help define the symptoms and create a diagnostic plan. You may need a sleep study for further evaluation.
