Pineal Gland: Pineal gland secretes melatonin which causes excessive sleepiness. The cyst needs to be evaluated asap and treated.

Workup needed: Pineal cysts do not usually cause sleepiness like you describe. Something else may be going on, see your doctor for a detailed workup. This may include workup to make sure the pineal cyst is not a tumor.
