Even when I've had a full 8 hours sleep and woken up naturally (no alarm) I can fall asleep standing up, between one word and the next during a conversation. I'll fall asleep in the car on the way into work and on the way home in the evening, on the couch an hour or so later.... Why is this happening?

I strongly suggest that you see your doctor and get a referral to see a sleep specialist. The symptoms you're describing sound like narcolepsy. It's fairly common and can be treated, but it can be a real problem if it causes you to fall asleep at the wheel of a car. This is nothing to mess around with. Talk to your doctor about it ASAP.

You could be anaemic (low iron) i suggest trying iron tablets or go to your gp and tell him as he will take blood tests and pin opint exactly what it is that is wrong. If your young then it might be that u need more sleep, they do say that younger people need more sleep than older people.

You should consult a physician. Sometimes problems with the Thyroid gland cause all these problems. Better get yourself checked up and see how it goes.

Extreme case of low iron, or Narcolepsy. See your doc.

Drink Coffee every time you wake up or are just about to go to sleep.

Its a wonder you are still alive. You have a condition known as narcolepsy, see your Dr pronto before you expire prematurely.

I would consult a physician. You could be suffering from nascolepsy.
