I'll share my story and although daytime sleepiness can be caused by a number of things, maybe this will help.

I used to wake up after 7 hours of sleep and 3 hours later, I could barely keep my eyes open. I was told that I snored during the night. I talked to my doc and had a sleep study done. Turns out that I have moderate to severe sleep apnea and was not getting the deep sleep I needed. Now that I have CPAP, I'm at least able to get out of bed in the morning. I still suffer from the hypersomnolence, but I'm doing much better.

Do a Google search on hypersomnolence and/or daytime sleepiness. There is a ton of info out there, and it may help when talking to your doc. I know all too well the feeling of falling asleep while typing a report! Good luck - I hope you can figure it out and get it resolved. Let us know how you are doing.
