Hard to know: Sleep comes in various stages & with deep sleep being the most effective in restoring vigor. If your "time" asleep is pretty normal but you are not restored, it suggests you are not entering deep sleep stages. I would visit your doc with this in mind. An exam may reveal some issues or a sleep study may help identify it. Sleep disturbances are one of the most under diagnosed problems in health.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Need to evaluate: There could be significant nocturnal events such as sleep apnea, preventing proper restful nights. But daytime issues, such as narcolepsy could be a mechanism. Blood testing and a sleep study should reveal etiology. A neurology consult could be useful.
