Would people be able to stay awake all day without caffeine?

I’ve always struggled with sleeping too much and intense daytime sleepiness. When people find out, normally they insist something is wrong with me and I need to see a doctor.

But I feel like this is hypocritical, since many of these people start their days with caffeine and I don’t. Am I missing something? Could people stay awake without their morning coffee?
