As far as my moles go, I have had them all since I was a baby!! It runs in my family. I have about 1/4 indian blood in me and that is where they come from. I know that they can turn cancerous so I will probably have them checked out the next time I see my doctor.
I have to take two meleltonin to help me fall asleep the first time and then after I wake up in the middle of the night I just take one becuase I'm afriad I will sleep through my classes if I take any more. I just feel so drained during the day but yet I can't sleep at night. Go figure!!

You know, the other thing could be a reduction in the amount of oxygen you are getting.
I forget what all causes it, but while we sleep we can have airway restriction that reduces oxygen and then we feel tired next day. We think we've slept, but without getting enough oxygen, our bodies are struggling.
My doctor told me to use an additional pillow, to raise my head. And that helped.
It would help if I lost weight... I'm awfully heavy since I've been in bed for so long. When I walk even a little bit it immediately spurs my metabolism and I feel so much better. But then something will happen, like I got left in the cold the other week by the ADA taxi, and I got so sick again. That's been happening once or more a month. So just when I'm getting better and able to walk without my feet feeling spongy and my legs giving out on me, I get over stressed from the cold or something, and WHAM!
As a matter of interest, do you have ridges on your fingernails? or have you lost any moons on your fingernails? Those can be symptoms of low B12.
As an aside I've had some moles since I was a baby, and my Polish grandmother told me to watch them for signs of change as they could mean cancer. That's almost 60 years ago.
Not being able to get enough oxygen while you sleep can be caused by "sleep apnea" which is a sort of shutting of the airways.
Try sleeping with your head elevated a bit. See if that helps. And if you have symptoms of low B12, get some of the methycobalamin. Then track your symptoms when you take it and see if over a few weeks it helps.
