Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the bloodstream. This lack of oxygen can lead to fatigue and drowsiness. Additionally, CO can interfere with proper brain function, which can also contribute to feeling sleepy.
