In reply to somnolence vs. fatigue, posted by River1924 on July 21, 2003, at 17:56:46
Well,to me, somnolence, is a sleepy/drowsy/hypnotic feeling.Like when you are dozing or just falling asleep. Fatigue is a "worn-out" feeling, as when you are tired from exertion (mental or physical). It's like saying sleepy vs. weary. (Fatigue with no exertion, is a symptom of depression).You can feel tired/fatigued without actually feeling drowsy/sleepy. Does that help??
