Hi Racer.
I don't know what I did to deserve so many accolades this week, but I'll take it with relish.
I think fatigue is a feeling of physical exhaustion and general weakness as if you had been engaged in an extended period of intense exercise. Fatigue does not necessarily promote sleep. Conversely, sleepiness does not need to be precipitated by fatigue. You can be without feelings of exhaustion, yet, still have trouble staying awake and always be in need of a nap.
That's about the best that I could do. I hope it helps.
