Avoid Daytime Sleepiness with Proper Nutrition

You might feel sleepy during the day due to improper nutrition, not lack of sleep. American scientists recommend including 'energizing' foods in your diet to help get through the day: Nuts, grains, fish, seeds, avocado - boost alertness. Eggs, soy, dairy, meat, legumes - enhance brain function and maintain concentration. Meanwhile, fermented cheese, wine, and cured meat increase drowsiness.
