I suggest you consider sleep apnea. Daytime sleepiness is often due to poor oxygenation during sleep.
I have sleep apnea and when I have an episode, I will have those same coma naps. I have been able to control my sleep apnea so these events are very rare now. They used to happen multiple times per week.
