Because the blood, which provides nutrients (energy) and oxygen to the body, starts to concentrate on the digestive system, giving a feeling of lasitude to the rest of the body.

Hello sleepy-head. Happy New Boxing Day. To answer your question there are two reasons why this might be happening. Either your blood sugar levels have gone up which means that sugar is kept in the blood and not being utilised to digest food and use the "energy" from the food you eat, and therefore oxygen which is carried in the red blood cells are not being carried around sufficiently.
The other reason is that blood is concentrating in the muscles and other organs for digestion and is therefore not being made available to give the other muscles (including the brain!) a fighting chance.
Best to sleep this binge off and then remember to eat little and often. Make something available to yourself so that you can keep coming back to eat and graze. Just try not to eat too much at once and do not then make more because that will cause you to eat more and that will make you fat!
Happy rest of the Christmas season and a happy new year!

Our body has to expend more energy to digest the heavy food that we have eaten ; Hence as a consequence, the energy reqd, for normal body functions reduce.& we get this feeling of tiredness & drowsiness.
NB --our blood supplies us with energy.More blood flow to the digestive area and less to the brain --- makes us feel tired & drowsy.
