Studio Ghibli films make me sleepy

I like Studio Ghibli films, but they do tend to make me sleepy (I guess they are just very relaxing).

I usually find myself drowsy and nodding off towards the end of the film. As a result, I’m generally in a half-awake state-of-mind when the meaningful big finale comes about.

On a related note, I saw Ponyo last night at Cinema Paradiso. It was enjoyable and less heavy-handed than many other Studio Ghibli films.
