A member asked:

What is the best way to wake up when you are feeling sleepy too early in the evening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More sleep: Often we short change our body's need for sleep and it responds by trying to catch up on sleep when we're not doing anything stimulating or physically active. If you are drowsy at times that you need to be alert, get it checked out. Falling asleep at the wrong time, like driving a car, can be deadly.
