As has already been written, what you are saying is happening sounds "normal".
There are many, many sensations, thoughts and such one can experience during meditation.
Be patient and forgiving with yourself, the thoughts, the naps and anything you are experiencing. You can sit less comfortably if it helps you stay awake, like without letting your back rest on the chair.
Like eating a certain way to be healthy, meditation should be a life long practice. In that sense, one wouldn't lose hope because eating broccoli for some months didn't create feelings of total health.
I'm not a meditation teacher or anything but it is my personal opinion based on my own practice that "trying" is somewhat counter productive, if you have a background intention of improving yourself and life and just practice for the sake of practicing you may gain more in the long run. As the Beatles so brilliantly put it, Let It Be.
