Is there a way to get rid of sleepiness?

Investigate: First find out why you are sleepy? Is it due to daytime overactivity, disease or drugs? Is it due sleep related problems such as restless legs, sleep apnea, excessive night-time stimulation, worry, pain conditions, dietary issues, bad mattress, noisy neighbors, pets in bed, etc. Then correct the problem. Know, then go (for a correction).
