You are probably giving yourself what is called a carotid massage. This is a technique used to slow the heart rate in people who are having episodes of SVT (abnormal rapid heartbeat) and can be hazzardous or even fatal to someone who is not having a rapid heartbeat because it can slow your heartbeat so low that your pass out. DON'T DO IT!!!!

You're probably accidentally pressing on the blood vessel that feeds the brain, thus cutting off oxygen to the brain. Be glad it's only making you drowzy. Too much oxygen starvation, and you could suffer brain damage.

Carotid artery is being pinched. Stop that.
