Sleepy After Epidural

Today is my induction day! After 41 weeks +2 I should have my princess in my arms soon. But my question is, did any of you other moms who have already given birth get sleepy after your epidural? I can't seem to keep my eyes open. In fact I dozed off while writing this post lol.

Yes! By the time I got to 9 cm I was trying not to fall asleep. I had a room full of people and with all the excitement I didn't want to miss anything. Lol.
I think you get sleepy because your body is already exausted from going through labor once you get the epidural you can finally relax.
