I agree with phoebe.  I had the symptoms you cite and was eventually diagnosed with sleep apnea.

These symptons are indicative of obstructive sleep apnea - especially given your weight.  I recommend asking your doctor to give you a sleep study test (polysomnography) to help diagnose your sleep problems
