See below: Good question. Typically, if you are sleepy in the daytime, it can mean you may not be getting proper sleep at night. Try to regularize and consolidate your sleep at night. If possible, avoid daytime naps otherwise you can lose your sleep drive at night, complicating your sleep wake cycle. But if sleepy, avoid using heavy machinery. If you continue to be sleepy, a sleep dr. Consultation may help.
