Somnolence (or drowsiness) is a state of near-sleep a strong desire for sleep or sleeping for unusually long periods (cf. hypersomnia). It has two distinct meanings referring both to the usual state preceding falling asleep and the chronic condition referring to being in that state independent of a circadian rhythm. Somnolence is derived from the Latin somnus meaning sleep.
