Is it normal that I get sleepy when typing?

Hi there,

It depends on the typing task that you are doing.

If you are just casually conversing or just typing to get rid of boredom, it might cause you to feel sleepy. But if you are typing a content that requires focus and attention then it will not.

Hi Max,

That happens to me sometimes too. It will help if you get up and moving around about every 20 minutes. Getting the blood flowing around your body will help to wake you up. You can do stretches or hand exercises often as well.
