Summary
Tide 31729 described in August 2018 how they tell sleepiness from fatigue in their illness: feeling really sleepy rather than fatigued usually follows a night or nights of poor sleep. They try to power through, or lie down for an hour with eyes closed, which usually gets them through the rest of the day. Sometimes the sleepiness means they need to eat, and eating then fixes it.

Closing my eyes and resting is usually enough to get me through the rest of the day.

Occasionally I've found it's because I need to eat ... I can now eat and fix the problem.
