I have been on medication lately for insistent allergy attack. I have allergic rhinitis that keeps me bugging the almost two weeks now. I have this anti allergy that makes me sleepy. I dont want to file a leave of absence either since i have lots of things to finish. I have coffee with me here just to keep me awake but no matter how hard i tried i have to close my eyes for a minute or two. :(

I also had allergies before and the effect of the medicine I took was that it was making me feel sleepy. I didnt go to work at that time because it would be inappropriate to sleep in my workplace. I got in trouble though cause I didnt inform my boss that I will be absent at that time. lol

LOL! That was just the thing i'm scared of. Though my boss tried to be patient with us all here but there might be times that he cant bear it. Every we met to discuss on the progress of our task, there is always that other matters agenda where he reminds us about the rules and policies on absences, lates etc..

Night shift is understandable though not advisable. A sleep during theday is very different on sleeping at night. When you have a good night sleep you have a wonderful day also.

Well I read from the caption on your picture that it's almost the end of office hours so just hang in there. Is there anyway to take the medicine a little late in the day, maybe after lunch, or even after work? Splash water on your face every time you go to the bathroom and eat square meals until you can get used to the medication.

:( It is taken after breakfast that would make me sleepy the whole day. Splashing water also helps about 20 to 30 minutes before the sleepiness comes again.

I think your brain need rest that is why you are feeling sleepy so sleep for few hours and work again. For me if I feels sleepy than I have to sleep few hours because if I don't sleep than there will is so many mistakes in my work. If I sleep few hours and do my work than I feel fresh and my work is also clean. So please sleep for sometime and work and I think coffee is also not good for our health.

If any one have such problem we have to have a extra care upon the thing that we are having and we have to maintain the time properly as some time we have to rest. We have to have the interest and we can't leave out even we feel sleeping.
