Does anyone have a sleep disorder?

Question

Curious if any of you have these symptoms and what has helped you, even if it means a sleep study..
Work 10-11 hours a day
Gets 9 hours of sleep a day
Cant wake up to alarms
When woken up by someone, still lays there dozing off.
Stays tired for hours after waking up
Very irritable 
Migraines
Continuous cycle. 
Has been this way for several years and doesnt matter if its day shift or night shift, will almost fall asleep driving to work in the mornings (day shift jobs) or just not wanting to get up in the evenings(night shift jobs)

Answer

I actually work in a neurology and sleep medicine clinic and it could be excessive daytime sleepiness or just not having restful sleep which calls for talking with a doctor

Answer

I was diagnosed with excessive daytime sleepiness. I was sleep walking at night, falling asleep/dozing off during the day. I was miserable. I did a sleep study where they concluded I was dreaming almost double the average time & waking up 12+ times a night, which is what caused my sleepwalking. 
I was put on Ritalin during the daytime to keep me fully awake. This then allowed my body/brain to fully shut down and sleep at night. I was skeptical, but it completely worked. A year after a constant routine with my medicine we wanted to start a family so I slowly weaned myself off. 
There have been a few hiccups in the past 3 years, a lot of which is due to pregnancy or or my little guy but I am doing pretty good. It was almost like I needed it for a year to get my body back on board with a regular routine. 
Hope this helps
