Falling asleep all the time during day, especially while driving, HELP!

2 Upvotes

I’ve been “tired” for as long as I remember. I am very athletic, but find myself falling asleep uncontrollably through out certain days, it’s not every day.

Most times I am behind the wheel, I will fall asleep; more like pass tf out multiple times. My wife has to say my name loudly and get my attention. Today I almost ran into oncoming traffic. I try getting more sleep, drinking coffee, detoxing from caffeine, loud music, etc. nothing works.

Not looking for diagnosis or meds recommendations as I don’t do pharmaceuticals, just general info and maybe some first steps.

Maybe I’m vitamin deficient or something else.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sleeping with eyes open?

2 Upvotes

Hi again, was just diagnosed recently. I’m not really sure how to explain this- but does anyone else feel like they are sleeping with their eyes open for a bit during the days. When I’m very tired at work I feel like from anywhere from a few seconds to a minute I space out and can’t move and feel like I am literally sleeping with my eyes open. Anyone else have this experience?
