Re: [fast5] Re: Sleepy after eating

There is a certain feeling (in my experience) to the over-reaction of insulin type of sleepiness (which is another way of saying the hypoglycemia, right?). I used to wonder the same thing as you when I would get that at no carb meals. I found out you can still over release with these type of meals sometimes.

I’ve noticed that these type of incidents seem to occur dependent on that time of the month for me and with ovulation and with other factors. It’s like the other hormones influence this functioning greately.

And sometimes when I haven’t had enough sleep I get that ultra sleepy feeling that seems hypoglycemic and sometimes I get it when I’ve plenty of sleep.....

My days of getting any of this are pretty much past, but prior to that, starting about 10 years ago, they were a regular occurrence. I was  thin when this started happening to me reglarly. I feel like it was definitely related to the beginnings of my weight situation......

I am noticing that I get sleepy in the afternoon sometimes, and sometimes before I eat, on an empty tummy, so maybe the sleepiness has nothing to do with food....

I don't get it every day, I get it off and on.

Sometimes the sleepiness is so heavy I have to lay down.

Other days I am not sleepy at all.

Also I tried eating a heavy meal late before bedtime, with some carbs too, and it didn't make me sleepy. (As I had hoped!)

So I have to watch more, what else is going on.

I drink tea some days, only in the morning. yet there doesn't seem to be a correlation...
