Thread: Fighting drowsiness during meditation

Hey everyone, I would appreciate some help on this problems thats been bugging me for months.
I've been doing meditation (more specifically tulpaforcing)
One things I've suffered since the beginning is it makes me drowsy. No matter what I do when I meditate, my mind drifts away from where it needs to be to be productive and random thoughts and they stick and its hard to shake off. No matter what time of day or if I took energy drinks is I FEEL SO TIRED when I do this. Ten minutes in, I'm fighting hypnagogic imagery pretty much. Its exaughting to visualize and converse between me and my tulpa. This problem has made progress suffer for 4 months. Any help will be immensely appreciated.

I'll dwell more to save you the needed questions.
