It really does not make me sleepy during the day. It was really a matter of experimenting with different products and dosages. What I am using now seems to be the right dosage for me. I did build up to these doses. At first I did try smoking but that really just made me stoned & basically not able to function. For some reason edibles, probably because they take 1 to 2 hours to take effect, seem to work the best.
