When I got home last Friday, the only thing I want to do was lay down and doze off. You would even bet I am pregnant.
I can blame it on two things. First, my work for that day was really tedious. Second, I ate three donuts and the sugar in them was making me sleepy.
When was the last time you really felt drowsy and why?

Every afternoon a feel very sleepy & drained and exhausted because of too much work in the early morning attending my kids to fed them & send them to school. Aside from that i am very busy to my real job work that no so much time to sleep very well.

For the last 3 weeks, i was really sleepy and drowsy everyday, due to my army training.. lol =D BUt what makes me sleepy is not the training, but rather the time difference that i have to wake up everyday.. hehe
B4 i went for my refresher training, i used to sleep at 3-4am, and waking up at 12-1pm..
But i start my training, it has become the opposite, i have to wake up at 6am, which is waking up just 2 hrs of the time when i normally sleep.. lol =D Thus i was so tired everyday that i will just sleep whenever i hit the bed straightaway.. hehe

Changing of times of sleep can really have a sleepy effect. I really
don't like shifting times. It's like your biological clock is
broken down. But you are in military so you should be used to this.
Or your biological clock should be built with steel.
have a nice day!

Lately I have feeling sleepy all the time. I do not know what is wrong with me. Ive been going to gym so I do not know if that is it but I walked neraly every day before that and I did some exercise at home so it is not as if Ive gone from doing no exercise at all to doing a lot. Im a vegetraian so I suspect I maybe anemic. Ive been taking vitamin tablets but am going to get some iron tablets and see if they help it. Ive never felt so constantly tird and drained in my life.

I would say that the last time I really felt sleepy would be right now because I am sitting here on mylot barely able to keep my eyes open,I want to mylot but it seems that my brain is sleeping,even though I did not get up until like three pm I did not sleep to well last night,and I usually get sleepy a lot and feel like taking a nap but I try to keep myself awake,since me and my fiance have so much stuff we need to do.

That is cool that you do not take naps my friend,and I can understand that you like your sleep to be long,and that if you have nothing else to do you will sleep all day, and usually when me and my fiance take a nap,we sleep for like twelve hours lol so I do not know if that would be a nap,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I don't really take much naps during the day. I want my sleep to
be long. But during weekends, especially when I know I don't
have to do anything, I will just lay down and sleep all day.
I don't think you can call it a nap!
Have a nice day!

There are times when I am watching TV and I really like the
show that I am watching but I feel sleepy already. I try
to stay awake but I end up sleeping on the sofa. So I really
can't enjoy the show anymore and I would just get up and
sleep.
have a nice day!

I am afraid lately I always seem to be sleepy. I know that part of it is because i have been a bit down for some time. But another part is - and I recognize this - that I haven't been able to rest properly for some time. With my daughter working nights most times, hubby waking up really early for work and people calling early in the morning I seem to not rest the way I should.
At this point I feel like I would like to sleep for two days straight, not even get up to eat LOL

I also have not been getting a lot of sleep lately. I would stay
up until 12mn or 1am and then wake up at around 5pm and still feel
very sleepy. The thing that really wakes me up is bathing with
cold water. On weekends, I don't always take a shower after waking
up so I feel sleepy throughout the day.
have a nice day!

Just last night I am very sleepy. I did my house hold chores for 2 consecutive days. Then I just slept for 5 hours the other day. That's why last night, even though our neighbor seemed to be very loud singing their videoke. I fell asleep...

Right now. I've slept all day and now I'm still tired. I often wake up feeling like I could sleep for another two days. I don't get it. I sleep more than the usual time that people sleep and it's still not enough for me. I've cut back on the sugar, but it's hard to maintain any kind of diet.

The last time that I really felt sleep was last Wednesday. I think it's because of the rains and the cold weather that I automatically slept the whole day. I even posted a topic about it after I woke up. I've been suffering from insomnia for years now, and felt really good that finally I got the sleep that I've been longing for. LOL. HUGZ!

the last time I felt very sleepy was when I had my night duty.From 11 pm to 7 am.I was not able to sleep or take a nap during that hours and I went home about 8 in the morning.I felt so dizzy and it seems that I'm awake for 24 hours the previous day.

that is really hard. I don't think I would want a job with a night
duty. But I am ok with overnights once in a while. Sometimes when
I don't sleep at the right time, it is really hard to sleep at
all. Or sometimes all I will do is sleep. I won't have to eat or
anything.
Have a nice day!

Lately I get really tired easily. I can't stay up for very long. I don't know what all is going on with my body. I do know I've had an infection in my bladder for over 3 weeks, so I guess that's it. ALso the pain I have all the time because of feeling so badly I have not been to the pain clinic for my shots I usually get every 2 weeks. I've missed a few weeks from feeling so bad. I'm also out of pain meds which does not help. I know one day soon I'll feel better. I'll have to make another trip to my family doctor to get more meds for this infection though. It usually takes me two med scripts to get rid of an infection.

Hi there richiem!
I slept late last Friday so when I went to work last Saturday, I felt drowsy. During my first class, while listening to my student deliver his report, I really felt sleepy. Of course, I had to keep myself awake so I kept asking the reporter questions related to his report. After that first class, I went to my car and told myself I'd get some sleep. Since my next class would be 5 hours away, I decided to sleep for a while. I couldn't do so if I had to stay in our office as my co-teachers can get really noisy. Well, I was able to sleep for about an hour. Just in time to have lunch with my boyfriend.
