People are naturally sleepier in the afternoon. Your symptom is most commonly related to not getting enough sleep. For most adults that is 7-8 hours. Many of his don't get much even though we should. Try leaving more time for sleep for at least a week to 10 days and see if you feel better. If not it's time to talk to your doctor
