Sat sri akal I am going to gurdwara regularly, i feel asleep while listening gurbani. Please suggest what to do to get rid of it

Sangat jio, I need help and advice from you guys. In amritvela where I do most of my simran path, I have a problem. While doing simran like mool mantar or vaheguru ( feels amazing) I slow drift off into sleep where I start having dreams and wake up after an hour or 2. It has been happening notably since last few days, and it is getting annoying now. How do I conquer sleep? Do I have to start doing things to myself like sitting on thorns like sant bhinderawale. Btw I sleep atleast 8 hours anyway, yet I still fall asleep at amritvela. Then throughout the day I feel guilt and my mind sends more powerful unwanted thoughts which are not meant for a gursikh. I know it is Satguru maharaj's choice we do whatever we do, but I do not want to detatch from amritvela as it helps me to supress the 5 jams for the day to a point where I do not commit many sins. Also I have come a long way from where I started by holding Guru sahibs feet but now I am just feeling stuck! So please help me.
