Definately see your doctor- and keep looking until you get a doctor that runs some tests on you. There are many things that cause excessive fatigue ranging from depression to thyroid problems to narcolepsy to cancer.

I know it's difficult for others to understand that you need the sleep and that the naps aren't an indulgence. It's hard for "normal" people to understand the difference between the sleepy and tired feelings that they experience and the overwhelming fatigue that plagues you.

Go see a doctor right away! If for nothing else, perhaps for some answers and closure.
