Hello
Every person has a different sleep pattern. Some are short sleepers for whom 5hrs of sleep is enough and some are long sleepers. The quality of your night sleep also determines your sleepiness through other times. In addition to this, other physical and psychiatric conditions have a bearing on the sleep pattern. Kindly consult, so that detailed evaluation is done before any treatment can be decided.

Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every case. A detailed medical and psychiatric history is also recommended for every case to come for a diagnosis and its management accordingly.
There is a always a circadian rhythm of the body, according to that the sleep wake pattern of the individual sets.
If you are saying that there is tendency to sleep when you are working in the day time, it should be explored.
Do you happen to sleep very frequently while doing works like driving or doing cooking work in the kitchen ? Then you should take the help of the mental health professional.
If a person is tired and not able to sleep in the night, then there is a physiological tendency for the body to take the rest and sleep.
Next Steps
If the day time sleepiness is frequent while you are doing activities like I said, there is definitely a need to consult a mental health professional.
