Your symptoms are consistent with sleep deprivation which can be due to a sleep disorder or just not getting enough sleep. Not a lot of your info points to N but it is a possibility.

Below is a message I use letting people know about the sleep test on sleepnet.

Some people need more sleep than others, however, this could be due to a sleep disorder. Best way to start looking at the possibilities is taking the sleep test on this site. Not perfect but can help point you in the right direction.

You should have a consult with a sleep specialist asap. Until then safety is the number one concern so he should avoid any dangerous activity when sleepy, including driving.

Best wishes,
