Re:Sleepiness while doing EMDR

Most often I think of it as like sawdust, just a byproduct of processing. After all, we are changing structural walls inside, so there would be some sawdust flying. Nothing to worry about.

Sometimes it seems to be a defense, when someone doesn't want to become aware of something. In that case, the processing would loop, get stuck.

Rarely it is an ego state or alter personality which has the function of sleeping (like after the molest at night, an alter would come to sleep through the night). In that case, the processing would sail through that piece and come out the other side.
