Find a Board Certified Sleep Specialist and/or a sleep lab in your area and have a polysomnography done. Also, if you like, go to Facebook and search for Idiopathic Hypersomnia. A lot of good people there, including me, can give you support with your symptoms and testing and treatment options. Good Luck. I'd bet money you have Narcolepsy.
I have always fallen asleep as soon as stimulation ends I think it is because it is so much effort to pay attention it tires you out and I also think there is an eliment of boredom too ... I’m in my 40s now
I’m 44 and have the same problem in certain situations. I think it is an inattentive Adhd problem. I also agree that it is the fact that we are working so hard to pay attention that we become exhausted. When we are in a classroom atmosphere where all eyes are on the speaker, it seems to be a signal to our brain to take a break, recharge, and get in a few “winks”. Let me know how things are going and if you find out any more information or tricks to stay awake with focus and attention. 😊
