So most days when I work later in the day I get so tired to the point where I’m nearly falling asleep working but at most I’ll nod off for a second. After 10 to 15 minutes of nearly falling asleep but still actively working the feeling is gone. Still tired but not nodding off or anything like that anymore. What causes this to disappear?

There is something like “sleep windows” in the human biorhythm that make it way easier to fall asleep – the afternoon is a big one. Once you muscled your way through, it’s harder to fall asleep for a while. But: the exhaustion is still real, that’s why kids get cranky when they miss their time for sleep. For us grown ups it would be wise to relax or even power nap in those valleys of energy, because it gives an energy high thereafter (under certain circumstances it doesn’t, but that’s another story)
