'''Sleepiness''' can be described as an increased desire to sleep and a decreased propensity to stay conscious without feeling tired. It is contrasted with [[sedation]] in that it does not decrease physical energy levels but instead increases the propensity of tired, clouded, and sleep-prone behavior. This effect leads to decreased levels of motivation and drive to perform tasks due to an increase in one's desire to sleep. Prolonged exposure without appropriate rest can lead to [[cognitive fatigue]].
<onlyinclude>'''Sleepiness''' (also known as '''drowsiness''') is medically recognized as a state of near-sleep, or a strong desire for sleep without feeling a decrease in one's physical energy levels.<ref name="DSM5GlossarySleepiness">{{cite journal|title=Glossary of Technical Terms|journal=Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.)|year=2013|pages=829|doi=10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596.GlossaryofTechnicalTerms}}</ref><ref name="Guilleminault2001">{{cite journal|last1=Guilleminault|first1=C.|title=Excessive daytime sleepiness: A challenge for the practising neurologist|journal=Brain|volume=124|issue=8|year=2001|pages=1482–1491|issn=14602156|doi=10.1093/brain/124.8.1482}}</ref><ref name="BereshpolovaStoelzel2011">{{cite journal|last1=Bereshpolova|first1=Y.|last2=Stoelzel|first2=C.

It results in a propensity for tired, clouded, and sleep-prone behaviour. This can lead into a decreased motivation to perform tasks, as the increase in one's desire to sleep begins to outweigh other considerations. Prolonged exposure to this effect without appropriate rest can lead to [[cognitive fatigue]] and a range of other cognitive suppressions.


Drugs with this specific mode of action include [[melatonin]] and [[DPH]]. They are collectively referred to as [[hypnotic]]s, the opposite of [[eugeroic]]s.
