I know the feeling. Mine seems to get worse certain times of year for some reason.

Perhaps temperature related? And nyanpasu~!

For me it is an every day thing. Sleepy always, but actually going to sleep is a problem. I get treated for it and the medicine works wonders whenever I finally take it, just sometimes takes me a bit to want to. You could always ask your Doctor about Mirtazapine or Trazodone.

Could be temperature. I like it cold but the others in my home don't. I've tried taking some stuff for it before but didn't like the experience. It made my body feel sleepy while my mind was still wide awake.

Interesting. By taking stuff, at the risk of prying(please tell me if so), are you referring to actual medicines or "sleep aid," OTCs such as Melatonin supplements or the other strange concoctions on sale? Just curious because I had not a body-sleepy-mind-awake but did have a physically-ill effect from OTCs outside of Melatonin(which did not help much either).

But yeah, everyone's body is different. Hopefully you can find a way to help your sleep during those times!
