Some good news: Today was my first day on the meds I was prescribed for my sleep issues (diagnosis: hypersomnia), and I haven't felt the usual overwhelming exhaustion that I get at all.
It's such an overwhelming weight off my shoulders to feel like a functional person that I can't even describe it.
If you fall asleep the second you hit a chair, at your desk, or in other inappropriate situations, or if you feel like the only thing you can get done in a day is fumbling through work because you're exhausted afterwards, my gosh, reach out to a sleep doc if you can.
