Many things can cause sleepiness, from stress to more serious illnesses. Are you under a lot of stress lately? Have you felt depressed? If these reasons are eliminated, then focus on the physical ones. Are you getting enough sleep? If the answer is yes, then have you felt ill? There are so many reasons that a person can be sleepy all the time. Medication can cause it, or it could be diabetes, thyroid-related, or a number of other things. Investigate your habits and physical symptoms. You can track down the cause. If not, consult your doctor.

There can be many reasons.
Medicines can make you sleepy.
Certain foods can make you sleepy. Or overeating.
Not getting enough sleep( sleep deprivation) can make you sleepier, or too much sleep.
Your body recovering from an illness or coming down with something like a cold can make you tired.
Some diseases like sleep apnea causes you to be more tired during the day. Sleeping disorders.

If you have a noisy neighbor for a while and a dog barking, those little things like that will interrupt your sleep and you’ll be sleep-deprived. Those are common causes then you have some people who have a mixture of sleep deprivation and insomnia where they just can’t fall asleep and then they have to get up at six in the morning so they may only have three or four hours of sleep. They’ll be very sleep-deprived. So sometimes finding out what their sleep patterns are like. Some people have sleep habits that just make them subject to very poor sleep. Some people are drinking lots of coffee during the day, drinking alcohol at night, so their sleep is fragmented because of the coffee. They may get to sleep early on in the night because of the alcohol. When the alcohol wears off their sleep is very fragmented again, so they’re getting very poor sleep. So there are medicines and drugs that people take that will interfere with the restorative sleep.
Stress will affect your sleep because it’ll usually cause you to have difficulty falling asleep. You can’t turn your brain off because you’re worried about this problem or that problem and over the course of several days or weeks you’ll feel sleep-deprived. And this can build up to the point that the individual will feel that there is no way I can ever be able to sleep normal. They sometime feel they are a failure at sleep and they work themselves into this situation, started out as stress and now it’s become a learned sleep insomnia. So those individuals need to see someone to try to get them on the right course to treat that.
They say that energy drinks make you sleepy.

Only sleep will really help overcome tiredness
Having a high sugar drink to boost energy can actually make people more sleepy, a study suggests.
Loughborough University researchers say the sugar rush gives a short respite.
But after an hour, people who had such drinks had slower reactions and more lapses in concentration than those who had a no-sugar, no caffeine drink.
Sleep experts say energy drinks help athletes, but sleepy drivers or others needing a boost should have a small amount of caffeine - and a short nap.

Uh.. I think this question is asking what's the reasoning behind being too tired, but I'm not sure, so I'll just go with it:
Maybe you're really tired because you're getting too much sleep? It may sound weird, but it's possible.

You could be low in iron or be diabetic. Both of these conditions will make you seem tired and sleepy.

TOO MUCH sleep can also be the cause.
Inactive, oversleeping, wrong type of foods, illness, and ofcourse the obvious not enough sleep.

You could be anemic, which means you are lacking iron in your system. You'd be better off speaking to a doctor.
