Sometimes after I eat I will start getting really sleepy and then I will want to take a nap,and other times after I eat I will be wide awake and full of energy and wanting to do things,especially when it comes to being on the computer and mylotting.

When I am bloated, I see to it to take a walk first or seat for a minute and make some conversation with my cousins and uncle, then after like 20 minutes I will just take a nap. It so hard to sleep after eating, at least after 30 minutes the food we take will be digested.

Sometimes I will and sometimes I will not. I think that it depends on how the food is made and the ingredients that is used to make it. Corn Starch makes me really sleepy so if I eat anything with that I will get sleepy.

I always feel sleepy after I eat. Only after a big meal though, not from little tiny snacks. Haha. But it doesn't really help since sometimes I eat a lot during lunch then I would start feeling sleepy during class. (Haha. Bad consequences right there.) I normally just try to push through and not sleep (since there's really not much I could do). Though soda tends to keep me up a bit longer. (Probably from all the sugar and caffeine in it.)

yes as you rightly said thats a human tendency to feel sleepy after having food...but it again depends on kind of food one eats...in my case if i eat rice in the afternoon or even buttermilk i feel sleepy.thats the reason i avoid that. but if i eat limited food and juz breads or soups i dnt feel tht sleepy.... nice discussion tahnks.

I alway feel sleepy once after lunch so I try not to have a heavy lunch. Something a 80% full not really full so I won't feel that sleepy.

Yeah this happens to me all the time. What I usually do is play some music for a while. Not a ballad for sure.

Yeah! I feel sleeppy after meals, because the blood go to stomach from brain.So if i had the important work after meal, i will drink a cup of coffee or not eat too much. That help me not sleeppy after meals.
