Anybody else get REALLY sleepy after lunch?

[Robbie3000]

It happens to most people. It doesn't matter what I eat I'll feel exhausted after lunch. I have a cup of coffee after lunch and stay chewing gum all afternoon until I leave work.

We need Spain's Siesta set up.

I'd be so much more productive if I wasn't fighting sleep the last few hours of my shift, all I'd need is like 10 min if that.

Foods without gluten shouldn't give you that sedative effect

How much sleep do you normally get and how regular are your sleep patterns?

Anywhere between 4 and 8 hours, it's pretty random. I have to be at work at 8am, and I go to bed anytime between 11pm and 3am depending on the day and when I happen to feel tired. I know I need to go to bed earlier but I'm not not tired befoer 11.

Weekends I just sleep until I wake up naturally, which could be anytime between 7 and noon.

check your sugar levels... and eat less carbs for lunch

Yea its the carbs. Mix it up with proteins and fats.

When u eat your body uses energy to digest the food thus making u feel tired. High protein foods is recommended because they take longer to digest.
