I am worried about my friend who seems to suddenly fall asleep. He has to get up during the night for the toilet (sometimes 5 or 6 times) but says he gets straight back to sleep afterwards. He can sleeps 2 or 3 hours during the day but falls asleep suddenly, sometimes with a cup in his hand. He said that he felt himself fall asleep standing up this morning and jerked awake.
I have encouraged him to speak to his doctor about it but he says he has mentioned this tiredness in the past but nothing was done about it. My concern is that he drives although he says he never feels tired when driving.
