What Causes Daytime Sleepiness?

During late morning and sometimes mid afternoon I can hardly keep my eyes open. They are so tired. Today I was driving about 300 miles and it hit me . I finally had to get off an exit, go to a parking lot and shut my eyes and rest about 20 minutes before continuing, I continued on but still had so eof same issue. I finally stopped and got food and drink and felt better. I had eaten a bagel and cup of coffee before I left about 7am. Today was the worst it has happened.
