Why is it when you eat you get really tired??

Answer 1

That's pretty much what we humans do...sleep and eat. Happy belly = time to sleep. Been sleeping = not so happy belly.

Answer 2

When you eat, usually a heavy meal with meat, the body has to expend so much energy to digest the meat that it takes energy away from the rest of the body's functions. You usually see this when you either eat red meat or eat too much at one time....try eating smaller meals or smaller meals with white meat....

Answer 3

A lot of your blood goes toward your stomach to start the digestion process. Your brain has less blood, you get sleepy.
