Doctor can evaluate: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… a visit to one’s primary care doctor is a good idea if symptoms persist, recur, or are worrisome.

Find out why.: If you r drowsy hours after u have slept, there is a definite problem. Many possibilities: adverse drug effect, abnormal sleep state, sleep disordered breathing, thryoid, heart or nervous system disorder...Probably the most common cause is depression. See a good primary care physician (if he says you r depressed without work-up, find another). Eat four times per day, drink more than 60 oz water.

Try Excersize: A good work-out (appropriate for your body) at some point during the day may help you feel the need to rest at night. Give it a try!

I would just add that you should do the exercise during the day rather than before bed; exercise raises your body's core temperature and it can take 2-3 hours for it to go back down to normal (ie delaying sleep onset)

Not Likely: While any medication may cause any side effects, sleepiness or drowsiness is not reported as a common side effect of singulair (montelukast).

Depends on the food: If you eat lots of carbohydrates, or "white foods" which affect the Insulin system, you may have postprandial hypoglycemia. Turkey with high levels of seratonin is often a thansgiving culprit. Your situation is common, and not an area of concern, but review your food experiences, as you will find some provocateurs and some non-sleep inducers.
