Begin you day by doing some form of excercise, may be jogging, walking or arobics. Show some determination and will-power to stay awake. Do some form of work that interest you, it could be cooking, sewing, gardening. I think 8-10 hours of sleep is ideal. Your boby will grow used to the habits that you cultivate.

Thank you very much for your advice....Just want to add a few things and maybe you'll have more advise......Well i have several herniated discs, have been dealing with them for 5 years, my left foot and lower leg go tingly to numb w/in 30 minutes on a god day. I can swim so i do that. Surgery is not an option due to the fact i have a severe case of degenerative disc disease so nothing to fuse too nothing they can do.....be to al the specialist and frankly these really upset me. They say lose weight, well i believe if i could excercise i would lose weight because i do not eat alot of often due to medication i am not hungry and tend to throw up if i do and them more pain...it is a terrible vicious cycle and i feel the doctors are as sick of me as i am of my self.

it sounds as if you might be a narcoleptic, A person who falls asleep for no reason. Depression is a pain in the butt also and makes you want to sleep. I try to talk to my friend and go for walks to keep my energy up. Do you see a doctor for your depression? he can perscribe something to help with the depression.
