A member asked:

Having protein s deficiency causes you to be sleepy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Protein s deficiency is a cause of hypercoaguable state (which means that there is an increased risk developing blood clots). There is no association between this deficiency and sleepiness of which I am aware.
