Yup because of my work. I have a graveyard shift at work. So I really sleep after lunch.

I don't have this habit. The nap is not enough for me. I prefer to have the long time sleep:) Otherwise it may feel worse. If I will have a nap, usually I really feel tired or I don't feel well. I love China

I get sleepy after I eat lunch but I would try to stay awake because if I sleep in the noon time, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I've heard schools in China has especially long lunch hours so students can nap and then rest awhile.

I am also a Chinese,I have a habit to sleep an hour after luch,snice speciality of my job.Since I got such a habit which nearly affect my Shanghai mediate interpertor test in 13th Septemper,2009,which is lunched in 2 pm.I nearly sleeped during my examin,my head just filled with lead,so it was hard to me to operate normally. I think I would like to change my job in future,in order to upgrade my english,because current job has nothing to do with english.

Its bad but i get sleepy almost after every meal that i eat. I have recently tried to start taking vitamins so that it may possibly help me out. So far it has helped slightly. I only get sleepy after heavy meals though. For breakfast if i had eggs biscuits, bacon, pancakes,so on and so oni definately eould get sleepy. For lunch if i have a cheese burger from mcdonalds or wendys i wont really get tired. I think i dont get tired from lunch as often because when im eating the meal im on the go and i dont take time to slow down to enjoy the meal. Dinner is the meal that really gets me though. For dinner my mom cooks very well so it is so hard to just have a little bit. Sometimes my mother cooks like it is thanksgiving or christmas. The food she cooks melts in your mouth and makes you dream for more. After stuffing your mouth with my mothers dilectable food you cant help but to close your eyes and dream of the food that you werent able to savor. I personally believe that food should not taste so good. Sometimes eating dinner makes you feel like your commiting a sin lol.

yes, we take nap after lunch. with an hour break, almost everyone in the office takes a nap. with all the lights switched off and with the cool air from the air conditioning unit, we have very good naps. it is so refreshing to wake up and be at work again at 1pm. we feel recharged and feel good to continue work with a short rest.

No, I don't have this habit. I don't have the habit of sleeping after lunch, or after any meal. The only time when I might take a nap or something like that would be when I'm sick, not feeling really well or anything like that, which might be normal for anyone who is sick. However, when I am feeling well, I don't really have the habit of sleeping after lunch. I'll do it occasionally, but not on a regular basis.
