short periods of tiredness

Every now and again I experience periods of extreme tiredness where I can't stop yawning, find it hard to stay awake, can't concentrate. This can occur any time of the day, and usually lasts about a half hour or so. Then I am ok, still tired, but not like I could just fall asleep. Does anyone else experience this?

It could also be Chronic Fatigue; I started out just hypo, then moved into CFS, myself.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
