I ate too many and now I feel sleepy. Do you feel sleepy when you are full?

This is one of the things that I don't want to do whenever I have to study. It is to eat a lot. When I eat a lot, I tend to sleep afterwards. I really cannot concentrate on what I am doing. Do you feel the same way too when you are full?

Sometimes. Usually happens to me after lunch meal. They say rice plus meat makes you feel sleepy afterwards.

@HAPPSINGH a bit.. @annierose a bit heavy. better way to get it off your system is to take a nap.

@MGjhaud Thanks. Is doing an exercise after eating a meal is good or not?

I think it is easier for us to feel sleepy after a full meal in hot summer.

@youless I haven't thought of that. I think that rainy seasons also make me sleepy.

Most of our oxygenated blood is focused in our digestive system and our brain doesn't have enough oxygen.

@prashu228 It is difficult when it happened in the office. I cannot sleep in the office or else my colleagues might make fun of me.

@jstory07 I tend to eat many when I did not eat anything in between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner.

Eating "a lot" is never a good thing, we should only eat what our body needs that is usually a lot less than our brain thinks.
