My partner who is also a pwME has episodes where she falls asleep very quickly in the daytime that do not feel to her like the regular feeling of getting sleepy and taking a nap.
I get daytime sleepiness, too. The important thing is that I HAVE to fall asleep to recover. If I just rest for hours on end, the sleepiness doesn't go away. But if I fall asleep, and usually I only fall asleep for 5 minutes, I wake up and it's like my system has been reset and the sleepiness is gone. Unless I've really overdone it just short of PEM then the sleepiness persists throughout the day.
