Yes, daily. Sometimes fall asleep sitting outside on patio. I fall over alot because I fall asleep easily when sitting, or even leaning on something. Can't tell how many times I've fallen out of bed. Heat does makes it alot worse. We have power surges here too from 5pm - 8pm no AC. Have to keep fan blowing on you.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant fatigue, which is common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS fatigue can be profound and doesn't usually improve with rest. Here are some descriptions from others with MS:

- "My body just shuts down."
- "Utter weariness."
- "Everything just feels slow."
- "Like taking three sleeping pills and still trying to function normally."

If this fatigue is affecting your daily life, it might be helpful to discuss it with your healthcare provider.
