What are some possible conditions for someone who is always exhausted no matter how much sleep they get? also falls asleep anytime and everywhere thxs

Sleep apnea.: My main thought would be sleep apnea, which disrupts nighttime sleep quality leading to daytime exhaustion and a tendency to fall asleep during the day.

Every time I try to go to sleep early I wake up 3 - 4 hours later completely unable to fall back asleep. Even when I'm so exhausted that I can't stay up any longer this happens. Are there any ways to avoid this?
