Feeling sleepy throughout the day can be a common symptom of Parkinson's disease, known as fatigue. This type of fatigue is not just about feeling sleepy; it can be a deep exhaustion that isn't relieved by rest. Here are some points to consider:

- Physical Exhaustion: Feeling completely run-down and without energy, making movement nearly impossible.
- Mental Fatigue: Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or following simple directions.
- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Feeling sleepy no matter how much rest you get.
