Fatigue isn't the same as just being sleepy. Nurse practitioner Marcelle Pick describes common fatigue symptoms in this video.
Symptoms of fatigue would be that you wake up in the morning even though you think you've slept well, and you're absolutely exhausted, you feel bone tired. You might find that you're at an appointment and then you start falling asleep because the sun is at your back and you're starting to read or at night time you can't possibly stay awake, if friends ask you go out and you're just too tired to do it and you just feel exhausted, or you complain that you feel tired and wired, which I often times hear in the practice as well.
