Hearing you talk about him, I'm getting the feeling that the attachment may not be that strong? He just might not be right for you. :(
I'm not sure anything you can do can stave off the sleepiness. My therapist does it from time to time. I've gotten where I tell him with varying degrees of amusement and irritation "Would you like to stand up and walk around?" And he takes me up on it at times. Other times I confess to say "I can't *believe* you're sleepy when I'm talking about this!"
It's very annoying, and even with the best good will it's hard to read the situation as showing the engagement we deserve from our therapists. I suppose if he comes through with you at other times you can decide, like I have, to accept the annoyances. But otherwise... Well there are a lot of therapists out there.
