Excessive daytime fatigue or sleepiness could be the underlying symptoms of some ORGANIC problem other than psychic.
And let's not forget IDS: Idiopathic Daytime Sleepiness. This is not narcolepsy, but something totally different.
A sleep study is the way to go with this sort of thing, but how many actually do it?
Kudos to you, James ... good advice.
