Scientific Explanations for Feeling Sleepy After Meals and Ways to Manage It
Feeling sleepy after meals is a common physiological response influenced by various factors. During monsoon, reduced sunlight, low air pressure, high humidity, and decreased physical activity can slow digestion and lower energy, leading to drowsiness. More generally, post-meal sleepiness results from the body's 'rest and digest' mode, hormonal changes like increased serotonin and melatonin from insulin response, and blood sugar fluctuations. Lighter meals, hydration, and light activity after eating can help reduce this sleepiness.
