What does it mean when you fall asleep all the time?

And you are seventy seven years old.
Answer:
If the sleepiness is only now occuring then Idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy are less likely as they usually occurr when someone is younger. The risk of sleep apnea increases with age, however. This is where someone stops breathing in their sleep briefly. With age people are also more likely to have health problems. Any number of health problems and medications could make one sleepy. The only way to find out is have a thourough workup by doctors including a sleep study.
You are tired! Thats a lot of years.

But seriously it could be a number of things I thinks it's best to discuss with Dr.
Narcolepsy?
