because everybody is different.

It is called tolerance. A lot of medicine have varied effect on people. Some will have such reactions others won't because of the differences on how their body metabolizes the medicine.
Also, some medicines have a combination ingredient with chemicals that really make you sleepy. Read the drug info leaflet for those type of medicines and look at the adverse effects that the drug can cause. Again some might react to these ingredient with drowsiness or tiredness, while others will not.
