Do you usually feel lazy and sleepy after eating? Or is it just me?

Depends on what the meal is. If it is something light and easy like a sandwich, it won't affect me too much, but if I've had a large, hot meal, I do feel really sluggish after, and would rather sleep than do anything else, lol!

Hello wondericequeen, Well, it is not only you. It happened to me too. Whenever I eat heavy meals, I will feel very sleepy and can't even open my eyes. ( I struggle to make sure that I am wide awake especially when I am in my office LOL!) This usually happens after my lunch time. Just a few days back, I felt so sleepy after having my lunch that I 'visited' the ladies very often and tried any possible ways to make me 'get up' and finish my job :)

Well,i am also a same kind of person as you are.I would prefer to study in the nights in an empty stomach rather than having my dinner.If i have my dinner i tend to postpone my plans and like to have a rest for a while and after sometime due to my laziness i never do that work at all.but during daytime i donot feel that laziness and sleepyness whose reason i am not sure of.May be my body is tuned to that. But,during night I usually feel lazy and sleepy after eating my dinner.

Hello,wondericequeen,I am just opposite to you,when i feel hungry,i will not have any energy to do things,i just want to go to sleep,when i have filled myself up,i will feel like full of energy and i can accomplish a task very quickly,that is why when i am replying at mylot,i need to eat enough or have some junk food so that i will not feel hungry or i will not be able to go on.

This happens to me after my dinner everyday.Immediately after eating my food i feel like sleeping.Most of the times i just go to bed without giving adequate time for digestion.My parents advise me to stay for a while after food before sleeping.May be this is due to the tiredness after my days work in office and travelling which forced me to sleep early.

more or less the same,but when I am hungry,I just do not want to do anything too.and it is said after eating especially eating very fully,then our body can produce a kind of material which makes us feel lazy and sleepy,do take it easy,it is very commen in our life.wish you good luck!

Oh No, Me too, Its horrible...I dont sleep much anyway, but after a meal..Im like a zombie, I just cant do anything.

When I am very hungry ,I'll want not to work . but after I eat the food I would feel very lazy and don't want to do anything .

Sometimes I feel just the same, after having a good lunch I would feel very sleepy and will be lazy to do just anything.Lol..or maybe I am just a plain lazy girl..haha! but that happens only on lunchtime..it's entirely different on dinner time..because even how full I am I won't just be able to sleep right after dinner..

I have the same feeling. I especially want to have a nap at noon after lunch. It's a hot day and I feel like sleepy.

Most days I can't afford to eat food, or I will turn into a complete vegetable in front of the television! I think it's my body's way of making me take a break. Seems just about the time I kick into full steam on My Lot, I make the mistake of having a quick bite to eat. Then my day is over. So most times I try to avoid food. Mostly, rice and pasta meals make me feel lethargic and groggy. But, high protein meals, like hamburgers do the opposite. Perhaps there is a connection that I will have to explore later. If I find out, I'll let you know.
