I am experiencing excessive sleepiness for the last 5 months. It's getting worse. I'm not able to open my eyes, I feel this uncontrollable urge to sleep. I'm feeling very hopeless. My eyes hurt. I feel sleepy every time. I'm not able to attend my classes or do anything. I'm getting depressed and getting suicidal thoughts too. Condition got worse since 1 week. Please tell me is there any cure for hypersomnia or narcolepsy. Everyone said there's no cure but how can I live like this. I'm fighting myself not to sleep. Please is there any sleep specialist or any Dr. who treats this. Please help me. I tried everything. Homeopathic medicine and anti-depressants too. But nothing happened. Please help.

Are you able to sleep at night comfortably or is your sleep disturbed? Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting checked from some lab. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of mixed dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8.
