Why i am feeling sleepy and drawsy immediately after eating mostly in the evening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lack of sleep?: Some sleepiness after a large meal is common, and probably related to hormonal and brain mechanisms where fullness and sleep cycles are regulated. Excessive/increased sleepiness at any time may suggest a problem with not enough or poor quality sleep. Other medical conditions like low thyroid can also contribute. Talk with your dr about your sleep and general health screening.
