Excessive Sleepiness — Which Doctor Should I See?

Excessive sleepiness can result from sleep disorders like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or insomnia, as well as medical conditions, medications, depression, or lifestyle factors such as poor sleep habits and stress.

Consult your doctor if excessive sleepiness persists for more than two weeks, interferes with daily activities, is accompanied by other symptoms, or suddenly changes without obvious cause.

Improve sleep hygiene by maintaining a consistent schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, exercising regularly, managing stress, and ensuring a comfortable sleep environment. Seek medical evaluation if symptoms persist.
