eli5, end up Working tired and nearly nodding off several times, but after time it’s like I wasn’t tired.

Question

So most days when I work later in the day I get so tired to the point where I’m nearly falling asleep working but at most I’ll nod off for a second. After 10 to 15 minutes of nearly falling asleep but still actively working the feeling is gone. Still tired but not nodding off or anything like that anymore. What causes this to disappear?

Answer 1

This type of daytime fatigue is often associated with sleep apnea, you should ask your doctor about a sleep study. Used to happen to me all the time.
