Dear Zahoor,
Thanks for using HCM.

Sitting in front of computer could be one reason behind easy fatiguability and feeling sleepy.
I advise you to do following things to ameliorate the problem-

1. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs.
The work pressure is high: Call it a day, take a short leave and hit out to picnic spot which you always wanted to go. Spend time with your family and friends.

2. While working take frequent regular breaks: Taking regular breaks will not waste the time, but it will definitely increase the productivity, concentration and reasoning. Take break for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. Close your eyes and rotate the eye balls for couple of minutes

3. . Avoid late night socialization

4. . Avoid starring for longer time at the computer screen or TV for longer time.

I hope doing all these things will reduce your problem to a large extent. If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and Regards
