So today my boss called me in to talk to me and said that one of the client's we had a meeting with last week thought I was falling asleep during the meeting . I was very tired and my eyes were burning so I was blinking a lot but I really couldn't help it . I feel so embarrassed. My boss wasn't really angry about it but he just wanted to let me know so that I can make sure it doesn't happen again and I apologised profusely.

I often have trouble sleeping due to my depression and anxiety. Also one of the side effects of my antidepressant is sleepiness so that could be part of it too. I'm really trying to do everything I can to treat these issues (weekly therapy, Pdoc and meds as well as trying to practice good sleeping habits). I try to eat healthy and avoid too much coffee (usually just two a day) but maybe I should just have something sugary before meetings so this doesn't happen again.
