Is it normal to keep falling asleep and still awake tired as before?

For two days I've been feeling fatigued or exhausted and usually it gets stronger and stronger the more I try to stay awake. Though, more often than not I end up falling asleep only to wake up a couple hours later (varies from 2-7) and again I feel drain of all my energy.

I'm not sick, and my allergies are only somewhat bothering me. I am not taking any medications that cause drowsiness, also this has never happened before at least to my knowledge.

    If this continues much longer you need to see your doctor: it could be caused by lots of things, including anemia, sleep apnea or a heart condition

      Now it's done a total reversal and I can't manage to fall or stay asleep.

        You may need sleep medication until you are back to normal, but you should also report the previous problem to your doctor. In any case, I hope you get better soon.

    It's not normal, and it sounds to me like a medical or psychological condition. Depression can cause this, but the other conditions mentioned above can as well. I recommend looking for a doctor.

    Perhaps you have a thyroid condition?

      I'm pretty sure my father had something of that.
