What's the best way to stop myself from sleeping in an important meeting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: That can be a sign of a sleep problem called narcolepsy, which causes sudden "sleeping" during day activities and needs treatment.Sleep apnea can cause that as well and needs rx. More common are poor sleep habits, working too hard, not sleeping well, use of stimulants or medications.Or boring meetings! :) best to see someone and get evaluated.
