Will a DNET brain tumor cause a person to lose energy?

Question

Hi doctor,

I sleep fine (usually), but lately, I have been sleeping for 10 to 16 hours a day. It is beginning to impact my study and learning to drive (yeah, late to the game due to a disability). I eat pretty healthy and drink heaps of water but have been relying on coffee (around three to five cups a day, depending on what I need to do) to stay awake for less than three hours at a time lately. Any tips on having more energy? I have a DNET brain tumor in my right temporal lobe that causes epilepsy and minor anxiety, and I take: 200 mg Tegretol morning and night, 500 mg Keppra morning, 1000 mg Keppra night, and 20 mg Lexam morning. Thank you.
