"Normal"?: Not sure what you mean by "normal." It's normal to feel drowsy if you've been awake for 16 hours or so. Apparently the poop sensors in your bowel send output to your let's-sleep center. It's "normal" for you. It's impossible to classify every human idiosyncrasy as normal or abnormal. If it's not unhealthy and doesn't make people want to shun you, then it's just one of your individual quirks.
