Most of the nights i sleep 7 or 8 hrs why i'm always sleepy in the afternoon? blood work made 2 weeks ago, all normal except for glucose (109 fasting ) i'm overweight, on dash diet already lost 17 lbs, everything else fine, no conditions?

Your daytime sleepiness may be due to sleep apnea that you may not be aware of. It is good that you are losing weight. Once you reach a BMI of less than 25, you should see improvement. If after reaching a healthy weight, you still have an issue, you may need a sleep study to rule out central apnea. Wish you good health!
