Your Brooks might do that since you have it tipped downward. Most people I've encountered ride with a Brooks tipped slightly up at the nose, putting the weight onto your sit bones where it belongs. A saddle that puts the weight onto my hands and shoulders would quickly get adjusted and told to stop doing that! If it refused, it would go into the box with all my other uncomfortable monstrosities.
I've had 'sleepy pee pee' with a couple of supposedly 'ergo' saddles. I've never had a problem with Brooks (Team Professional or B-17). My weight is on my sit bones, not my bits.
