During orgasm, the brain releases many hormones and neurochemicals, mainly oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These "feel good" chemicals have a profound effect and result in the pleasure and sleepiness that you feel. ref: https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-happens-to-your-brain-when-you-orgasm

It is a normal reaction for the body to calm down after intense activity. Nothing to worry about
