Will metformin make you sleepy?

Not commonly: Sleepiness is not a common side effect of metformin but it is possible for some patient to experience fatigue due to the medication.

No: No, it shouldn't (at least in my practice i've never seen any warnings on it or had any patients complain of it...).
