Oh yeah, I actually have it, the CO detector is located in front of this bad room's door. It is never fired, but is there a mild level of CO that makes me tired but not dangerous enough to fire the detector ?
since you intimate you don't live alone, and the rest of the family presumably doesn't share your malaise.... no.

My two children are too young to complain (less than 5 years old).

My wife actually also complains about that room: "it's tiring to sleep there". But she thinks it's because when she sleeps there she shares the bad with one kid on a small bed, and sleeping not comfortably makes her tired. Actually my wife very rarely has a good sleep: she has dreams every night, always want to sleep more if she does not have to go to work. But she thinks that's her body and accepts it. I urged her to check for a Sleep Apnea, but she refused.

My complain about that bad room is also when I sleep alone in that small bed. Call me crazy, but I cannot afford having a tired brain and I want to look for any possibility.

If there is a leak in the chimney you could have mold in that room.
If there is a leak in the chimney you could have CO leaking into the room.
If there is a leak in the window frame you could have mold in the room

Mold can live between the walls if there is any dampness, sending out its spores.

I'll ask the previous owner of the house if he has ever suspected something similar
