Does it have sugar in it? Refined sugar will give you an immediate rush, soon followed by extreme tiredness or sleepiness. It seems to have a greater effect on some than others.

Withdrawal. You just need to feel warm and relaxed. That's what the tea's doing to you. Find someone to give you a hug.

caffiene is a stimulant (drug)
it should wake you up
but if you want to feel awake then you should get a good night sleep (8-10 hours)

If you're drinking chamomile tea then yes it will relax you.
Tea shouldn't make you sleepy in general.

When you eat something, your blood supply goes straight to your digestive system to help digest what you injested. Because of this, you get sleepy. And eating or drinking anything warm makes it worse
