Hi,
Sleepiness is a common side effect of Tylenol due to the antihistamine ingredient in this product.You should not worry because the symptoms will go away on its own in a few days.You can use caffeine for the contrary effect.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
