There are countless possibilities, you'll need to see a doctor.
If narcolepsy rings a bell, also try looking up sleep apnea. A very close friend went undiagnosed until she was 26 because she doesn't exhibit the traditional symptom of snoring.
Your doctor will likely send you to a sleep clinic where you will be wired up with electrodes and then asked to go to sleep. Apparently the process generally sucks, but finding out what is happening with your body, and finding a solution will be well worth it. These studies will help to diagnose a range of sleep disorders.
If it's not sleep related it could be any of a multitude of vitamin or mineral deficiencies which can be diagnosed with a blood test.
Or, for extra fun it could be a combination of factors. With problems that have gone on for a number of years things tend to cause other things... It could take awhile to untangle, but it will be worth it. Remember to mention everything, every symptom, bodily inconvenience etc to your doctor. Write them down. Something seemingly unrelated like heartburn, or leg pain could be very important in figuring out all of what is going on.
