Intransitive equivalent for "to make thirsty/sleepy/etc."

Question

Is there a less ambiguous way of saying “I’m glad we’re out, those meetings always make you sleepy” where “you” means “everybody in general”, without using synonyms (“grueling”, “exhausting”, etc.), and using other pronouns (like “one” or “us”)?

Something like “good exercise is always tiring”.

Something like "good exercise is always tiring".

Not the best solution, but if you really insist, you can use induce.

I'm glad we're out, those meetings are so sleepiness-inducing

This works a bit better with words like thirst, where there is a more natural noun form available.
