Excessive drowsiness during daytime.
I get uncontrollable urge to sleep during daytime, even after a good night's sleep. I feel lathargic all the time, and couldn't concentrate for longer hours. I feel sleepy during classes which is a big problem. I have been facing this issue since last 6 years (though I am not sure if I had this symptom before). I request you to provide me guidance regarding this symptom.
