I always get sleepy

[sleepy]

I'm new here and in the past few months I have developed a problem. When ever I sit down to do work wether it be for school or for my job, I instantly become very sleepy. Sometimes so fast I will almost fall asleep without even noticing it. That has only happened a few times but most of the time I will fall into a deep daydream state without even knowing it. I have no idea what to do or what this is, but I need this to stop, it is affecting my every day to day activites. Any ideas, thanks for any help you all can give.

So your sleepy all the time? Do you get 8 hours of sleep a night and eat a healthy diet? Get enough exercise?

If so, and your still tired, then it could be that your anemic...I have the same problem and I recently went to the dr. and had bloodwork done to get to the bottom of the problem. It could be somthing as simple as a deficiency in iron.

If not, get up and go for a walk: and the others are right, an apple helps a LOT more than coffee.

(even tho coffee is still good somtimes):D

Coffee, coke, cola, pepsi, tea, apples.... and anything sour will keep you awake.
