In  addition, sleep apnea can be a common cause for day time sleepiness.  Sleep apnea is possible if you are snoring during sleep. During sleep apnea you get low Oxygen levels in the blood due to blocking of respiratory passage. When you get low Oxygen levels then it can make you awake temporarily. This makes sleep less refreshing due to frequent getting ups. 

You can monitor whether you are snoring during sleep by using phone sleep noise recording apps. e.g. Snoreclock for android. Else ask from the partner.
