HELP? is there anything wrong?

Question

My dad, whenever he eats a hearty meal he always feels sleepy afterwards? is this normal? is there anything wrong?
He is 40yrs old and exercises everyday.
Thank you!

Answer 1

No, nothing's wrong. I mean, I feel sleepy after a hearty meal and I'm nowhere near 40. It's perfectly normal to feel sleepy after meals.

And kudos to your dad for exercising everyday!

Answer 2

in some countries...its part of the culture to nap after meals...ever hear of a siesta?

A siesta (IPA: /siːˈɛstə/, original Spanish pronunciation IPA: ˈsjest̪a) is a short nap taken in the early afternoon, often after the midday meal. Such a period of sleep is a common tradition in some hot countries. The word siesta is Spanish, from the Latin hora sexta - "the sixth hour" (counting from dawn, therefore noon, hence "midday rest").

I am always sleepy after a meal...let him rest and quit worrying (by the way..he's lucky to have a daughter that cares!!)

Answer 3

This is normal when you have eaten a big meal the body has to digest it this takes energy and tires you out,
Look at say a lion he will eat and then sleep it off,
I would suggest eating smaller portion more often is better for you than all at once.

Answer 4

Could it be that he's eating too many carbohydrates? That happens to me.

Answer 5

well if the food is really dense and it is when he is already tired a little then no this is normal .
