What Causes Sleepiness After Stopping Yaba Drugs?

My brother is here in USA now but he used to take the yaba drugs when he was back home. He is out totally clean now no drugs, smoke or alcohol, but he sleeps a lot any free minute he gets he is dozing off; is this a reaction of no longer taking the drugs, if so, is it okay to let him sleep most of the time or wake him up and keep him busy. thamks
