Why do i get really sleepy after wine, sugary foods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several reasons: Wine can act as a sedative-tranquilizer, which could promote drowsiness, and the high sugar content items could provoke a reactive hypoglycemia, which could also result to sleepiness. Might discuss all of this with your physician, especially if you are taking medications.
