This week at work i had sudden episodes of drowsiness during quiet times, can't keep my eyes open! it lasts a few minutes and then i feel fine again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drowsiness: Are the episodes after eating?There is postprandial narcosis due to parasympathetic tone, relative increase in tryptophan s/p high glycemic(sugar) meal and other etiologies. It can also be due to sleep apnea/ nacolepsy. Discuss with you doctor/urgent care/remote physician and if indicated have a sleep study. Could also be boredom.
