Answer
If you are sleepy during the day you may be suffering from narcolepsy, go to sleepnet.com click on disorders narcolepsy. Usually falling asleep while driving is one of the symptoms.  feel free to email again, If it is just because of the shift work you do, then basically you must go to sleep and awaken the same time 7 days a week. feel free to email again karel
