It is now 2:25 in the afternoon and I am so sleepy.
I remember that I only had 4 hours of sleep today.
But I am trying not to sleep because it is hot.
I do not want to wake up in a sweat.
But why do we feel more sleepy when the weather is hot? Or after eating? Or is it just me?

I hate sleeping when it's hot. I don't like being drenched in sweat when I wake up. We normally have the air conditioner running when it's getting hot outside so we're cool in the house.
I can't answer your questions. I don't know the answers. I've never thought about it before.
If you fall asleep, I hope you have a good rest.

@DaddyEvil Same here! Feeling sleepy in a hot weather ain't true for me. I feel more sleepy when its cold and rainy. That kind of environment is more conducive. It lulls me to sleep. Hence, they say bed weather.

I think most people feel sleepy when its cold and rainy rather than hot (I myself included) because its cozy and that's conducive to sleep. After eating? At least, that's common and many can relate to that, the word food coma wouldn't be invented if not. I guess its a complex interplay of factors happening inside the body that make us feel sleepy and sluggish after eating. The type of food you eat and the size also plays a role. Can't you turn on the AC so at least you can take a nap comfortably and not soak in sweat?

Science has an explanation about it, that is why we usually do arm exercises after eating, just to stay awake after lunch, before continuing to a seminar or lesson. Its normal.

You are not alone. Everyone feels sleepy or sluggish after eating. I don't know the reason
