Rice has never made me sleepy. I eat it plain though so if you are putting margarine or soya sauce on it, it might make you sleepy because your body has to work harder to digest it.

Rice swells up in your stomach and the fuller your stomach is the more blood rushes in to help in the digesting process, leaving you a bit light headed, thus making you sleepy!

i have low blood pressure and blood sugar so eating much of anything makes me sleepy. Especially stuff with alot of carbs. the blood rushes to your stomach inorder to help digest the food. Your body if focused in breaking down the food in your tummy and so the energy for other things is being taken away.

I remember reading somewhere that rice, especially brown rice, has an amino acid called Tryptophan, which its hydroxylase form helps synthesize serotonin into melatonin, which produces a sedative effect.
Hence, probably. I don't know.
