i dont know if that happens to you & i really want to find out. whenever i grab my guitar to practise, after a while i cant keep my eyes open! that happens when i "study" guitar. i dont think that its so boring that i want to sleep but literally i simply cant practise!
sometimes it gets really annoying.

has this happened to you sometimes now or at the first years of learning?

HOLYCRAP, this has been my one issue with practicing I've had forever!!
I just CAN'T SEEM to keep my flippin' eyes open!!!!

I've just simply come to the conclusion that I need to practice while it's still daytime.

I always seem to pass out for an hour or two after practicing for a while, and then wake myself up and finish practicing.
Sometimes I pass out multiple times in one night and my head officially hits the pillow at around four or five in the morning.
But that's only sometimes.

Psh, follow-through is one thing I lack.
Well.
Except for my guitar playing.
So adhering to a schedule just might work for my practicing.

Thanks for the input.

I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk...

I cannot say that its ever happened to me. I usually practice either 1-2 hours after I eat breakfast or an hour after I get home from work. Even when I was younger I always practiced before feeling sleepy or too close before going to bed.

I hope you figure out something so you can get in some good practice time.

Me I sit down and start playing and it keeps me awake.

Depends on what I am playing. If it is bluesy or Hendrixy, I feel the lids start to drop but the fingers still move. It's almost like a trance more than sleep.

Drink some coffee. I have fallen a sleep with guitar in hand but that was when I used to pull all nighters and had the guitar in my hands for ten hours and a pot of coffee in me and the sun would be coming up. To old for that now though I am still a night owl.

I usually practice when i feel sleepy but want to stay awake so i play hard and loud to do so. Then i have been known to play soft fingerstyle on my acoustic to mellow out so that i could go to sleep. It's really according on my mood and how badly i feel the need to practice a certain set of songs i'm working on.

when i feel i get bored i make a pause for 5 minutes and repeat the last stuff again.

cheers

if i drink im will go to bed sooner! coffee makes me want to sleep !

For me I usaly take a 5 minute break, I just walk around the house, grab a snack, But That seems to only happen later on like at night, so I always try to practise in the morning.
