Not Dangerous: To get the desired effect from Keflex, or any other antibiotic, it is important to take it close to the interval prescribed. If you do so the medicine will reach the blood concentration needed to treat your infection. Make it a point to take the medicine on a schedule but don't be worried if you take it a little earlier or later than the exact time. Call the doctor if your symptoms are not better.

Sleepiness: I would worry mostly about your "sleepiness" that might reflect a different type of infection. Talk to your prescriber about your symptoms.
