12. See a sleep specialist.
Daytime sleepiness can be caused by sleep disorders. If you are excessively sleepy consistently during the day even when you sleep well or if you fall asleep without warning during daily activities, you may have a sleep disorder such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea, a breathing problem that occurs during sleep. According to Krakow, undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorders are probably the greatest cause of daytime fatigue and sleepiness.

Problem sleepiness can also be caused by certain illnesses and medications. And mental conditions such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and anxiety are very commonly linked to sleep problems.

A sleep specialist can design a treatment program for you that treats the underlying sleep disorder and helps you develop better sleep habits and attitudes though cognitive behavioral therapy. Sometimes it takes a combination of medication and behavioral therapy to eliminate daytime sleepiness, but it can be done.

12、去看睡眠专家

日间奢睡可以是由睡眠紊乱造成的。如果你晚上睡得很好但是白天还是持续过度困乏或者你不注意警告，在日间活动时入睡的话，你也许患有睡眠紊乱，例如：猝睡症或睡眠呼吸中止症——一种在睡眠时出现的呼吸问题。据克拉科夫说，尚未找出原因的不能治愈的睡眠紊乱很有可能是日间疲劳和困乏的最大原因。

睡眠问题还可能由特定的疾病和药物引起。精神状态如：沮丧、创伤后应激障碍和焦虑通常都和睡眠问题联系在一起。

睡眠专家能为你设计一个治疗项目来治疗你潜在的睡眠紊乱问题并能通过认知行为治疗来帮助你养成好的睡眠习惯和态度。有时需要药物和行为治疗结合来消除日间嗜睡，但他总是可以治愈的。
