I feel perpetually sleepy.
I have a hard time napping during the day- scratch that I can't nap during the day. My anxiety makes it impossible. However the second I crack open a book I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's very strange.

Things that might be helpful for people in here:
Get iron levels checked. A lot of people are actually pretty low. Make sure doctor using more recent reference ranges, as there's been a lot of bad outdated info about iron and infusions
Glycine. It lowers your core body temperature when taking before bed which puts you into deep sleep faster and more frequently so you end up waking up feeling more rested with the same amount of sleep
Also, get a sleep study for sleep apnea. "It is estimated to affect 10% to 30% of adults in the United States but in many cases goes undiagnosed". -National Sleep Foundation
Thanks for this tip, I dont have trouble sleeping generally but my partner does, will look into this for him
