If you notice yourself falling asleep at inappropriate or dangerous times (such as while driving) despite getting what should be a normal amount of sleep, you should see your doctor to be evaluated. It is important to find out if you have an underlying neurological condition that could be life-threatening. It is also good to find out if you have a primary sleep disturbance that may be treatable with medication.
