After having lunch, many people start feeling lethargic, tired and sleepy. During work, concentration decreases and the body starts demanding rest. This problem is especially common for those who sit in the office for long periods of time. Actually, the quality of night’s sleep, the amount of lunch and the nutrients included in the food together decide how energetic or sluggish the body will feel after the meal.

According to scientists, a fixed cycle of waking and sleeping continues in the body. While awareness remains high in the early part of the day, the body’s alertness decreases around noon. This is the reason why some people feel lethargic in the afternoon even without eating food. Food makes one feel the changes taking place at this time and hence one feels more sleepy after lunch.

When a person eats more food than required, the body has to speed up many processes to digest it. In such a situation, you may feel more tired or heavy after eating. Eating a meal high in fat or carbohydrates has also been linked to drowsiness after meals in some people.

Now the question arises that what happens in the body once the food enters the stomach? As soon as the food reaches the stomach. The body starts the work of digesting it. During this period the level of sugar and other nutrients in the blood changes. Many types of signals also start forming in the body, which are to hunger, digestion and waking state. These changes also affect the working speed of the brain. For this reason, some people feel like taking rest after meals. According to scientists, sleep after eating may not be due to any one reason, but may be the result of many changes happening simultaneously in the body.

Poor or less sleep at night can also be a major reason for feeling sleepy after lunch. When we do not get enough rest at night, the body’s need for sleep remains high the next day. In such a situation, the afternoon time, when the body’s agility is less than before, can further increase sleep. Therefore, if a person feels very sleepy every afternoon, he should also pay attention to his night sleep.

Instead of eating too much in the afternoon, it is better to eat only as much as the body needs. It is a good option to include pulses, vegetables, whole grains and protein items in your diet.

Sometimes feeling sleepy or slightly drowsy after eating food can be normal, but if there is excessive sleep every day or it is accompanied by problems like dizziness, weakness and extreme fatigue, then it should not be ignored. There could also be reasons behind excessive sleepiness during the day like problems to sleep, anemia, thyroid or problems to sugar in the body. In such a situation, it is better to seek examination and advice from a doctor.
