I feel extremely tired and sleepy after eating lunch. When I was younger it didn't happen with me at all even though its the same meal portions. Is that normal? Age: 22, Male.

it is normal to be tired and sleeply after meal cause the major portion of circulatiion is for the digestion so the brain circulatio will be less for this reason we feel a sleepiness.about your age 22 you are young but i don't think that u r eating the same quantity when you were child.we have to remember that the volum of your body is now biger .

I can add that fatty meals will make you feel more sleepy!!
