Are you overweight, and do you snore? If both are true along with daytime sleepiness, you may want to investigate sleep apnea. I’m much much less sleepy since I got on CPAP. As a bonus, a sleep study will also catch restless legs and other causes of non-restful sleep.
Neither am and nor do I yet my CPAP device has given me energy that I had no idea I was missing. A sleep study is worth the investment!
Mind you I am nowhere near as good at holding my breath as I once was. Practicing not breathing for two minutes at a time while sleeping was handy. One breath per 16 steps felt like a natural running flow. One per 30 for a challenge.
I second wedrifid. I am not overweight and I don’t snore, but after a few years of persistent daytime fatigue, I got a sleep study, and it turned out I do have sleep apnea. May be worth doing a sleep study; if you do have it, then you get a CPAP and possibly a Provigil prescription, which can help a lot, and if it’s not apnea, the sleep study could provide you with other useful information about how you’re sleeping, and why you’re falling asleep during the day.

Not overweight, don’t snore.
