A member asked:
Could eye drops help with sleepiness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: If you are having excessive daytime sleepiness (eds), eye drops aren't the treatment for it. Eds can indicate a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea or be a symptom of another medical condition. Please consult a sleep medicine specialist to evaluate your eds. In the mean time, please do not operate heavy machinery if you're sleepy. Try to regularize your bed times and wake up times. Hope that helps!
