Can coffee make you sleepy?

Maybe: Some people have paradoxical effects to drugs. So it's possible but not likely. Sedating antihistamines make some of my patients more awake and alert.

After a few hours.: Caffeine is a stimulant and not likely to make you sleepy directly although as it wears off after a few hours you may indeed feel a bit "wiped out."
