Do I have to sleep more hours or less if I get sleepy during the day

I always experienced being sleepy during daytime usually after lunch. That happened because of my sideline job which is massage. I used used to administer massage to a client after office hour even up to 11 pm. It made me weak that I want to sleep during daytime to regain strength. In your cxase it maybe the cause of drugs you take. Consult your doctor to be sure of it.

Lots of sleep disorders will leave you feeling tired no matter how much sleep..and antihistamines can enhance these disorders. Do you snore? See a doc and tell him what you told us.

I have this problem lots of times when studying. The fact that you are sitting still just seems to make you sleepy. I usually will take a quick cat nap (10-15 minutes) and I am good to go again.

Sleepiness can be the result of a number of factors -
* Are you getting enough sleep?
* Are you getting quality sleep (e.g. is the bed too soft/too hard; are you tossing in your sleep)?
* The drugs you are taking for hayfever could have side effects.
* The length and duration of your commute
* Your diet - getting sleepy in the early afternoon can be the result of a heavy lunch diet

Besides the Antihistamines that could be making you sleepy, your diet also plays a major role. if your eating bad you will have your sugar go up and then down fast making you feel tired..
